Halloween Home Tour

Home Exterior Halloween

Can you believe Halloween is this weekend?  I’m sooooo excited that Halloween is on a Saturday this year.  We’re ALL getting dresses up. The boys have changed what they’re being yet again and I’ve been scurrying around trying to get everything for their costumes.  John is going to be a skeleton in a tux and Conor is going to be a skeleton knight (of course).  Luke and I are also getting in on the action. He’s going to be Dr. Who and I’m going to be a Weeping Angel (they scare me like crazy!!!).  Poppy will be herself.

Anyway, you may remember this photo from last year, heading off to the Harbor. I’ll be sure and so some pictures after.

Trick or Treating

But thought you all might want to take a spooky, haunted Halloween Home Tour.  I have included some affiliate links in this post –

Halloween Home Tour Finding Silver Pennies

Outside has lots of pumpkins and graves from Target:

Pumpkins and Graves

I found this brilliant feather wreath when I was on my umpteenth trip for Halloween costume supplies.

Don’t you love the feathers?

The graves are from last year, the pumpkins from the ASP Pumpkin Patch in Cohasset. We love going with the boys every year:

Tower Pumpkins

Don’t mind our guard dog, AKA Poppy, she doesn’t bite….

Please come on in, we’re having a slight infestation problem, so please watch your step.

Mice climbing our stairs for Halloween

Mice are everywhere!!!!

Halloween Mice

The boys loved these mice silhouettes and couldn’t stop laughing when they walked in the door from school 😉

There’s even rats on our mantel:

Antiques mixed with Halloween Decor

Oh, and spiders and a few bats, oh my!  You may remember I shared the mantel here.

Branches and candelabra

Finding Silver Pennies Halloween Mantel

The boys helped me with this space. We gathered sticks in the woods and spray painted them and kind of went black and white crazy in here.  Many of the items are from World Market on the mantel.

The sun room has a tiny bit of halloween decorating with this centerpiece:

Fall Vignette

I think the only orange pumpkin you’ll see inside my house:

The dining room is deck out for a party and we’re looking forward to having a roast dinner in here with my parents between trick or treating in the harbor and trick or treating in the neighborhood.

A pretty Halloween Tablescape

Even more wild life in here – birds on the table and bats on the napkins.  I shared this festive tablescape stenciled with Royal Design Studio stencils here. Conor helped me make the caramel apples and the boys may have enjoyed these cupcakes for breakfast one morning.

A Halloween Party DIY

The thing is I get so excited for this holiday.  I don’t know what it is, but I feel just like a little kid.  I love working on Halloween ideas with my guys and seeing all the fabulous costumes people come up with in the harbor.  I’m really excited to be dressing up this year too. I also love handing out candy.

We're having a grown up Halloween Party

Do you get excited for Halloween too?

I’ve even used some of the kids toys to decorate with.  The boys got boo’ed and they loved this little skeleton:

Skeleton in the living room

Spooky Skeleton

I know this skeleton has inspired John’s new costume choice.

Oh, I almost forgot there are more bats at our front door!  I thought this was a fun angle from the stairs as I don’t think you’ve ever seen this perspective on the blog.

You may remember the graphite chairs I painted with Annie Sloan chalk paint, click here.

Some really cool stuff here…and so simple. I love the branches on the mantle…a spooky look to it…just in the stark and unexpected look it achieves. And the mice scampering up the steps…fun.

Always like the idea of a house coming to life after everyone is asleep…who knows what those mice and bats get into…grins, Sandi

Your house is marvellous and so inspiring. Have fun at the harbour and I will look forward to see the photos. Happy Halloween from still sunny England.

I love your spooktacular home tour! Such great touches and finds. I had the mice for our entry steps but got rid of them when we moved 2 years ago.

Danielle, this is fantastic! I really like the mice on the stairs and the bats on the walls, but your house is delightful. I hope your little ones had a Happy Halloween. I saw your link at Elizabeth & Co. link party.
