Haunted Home

{Moss gives the entryway antique chandelier an eerie feel}

There’s almost nothing I find more exciting than decorating our place for Halloween. This year I’ve had so little time to dedicate to my favorite holiday (between my blog, my book, and upcoming wedding), but I finally got around to it earlier this week. Here’s a glimpse at how it’s come together thus far and you can see years past here and here.

  8. Oh my goodness – this is great! Were you decorating for a certain social occasion or is that how you’ll have your home until Halloween? I think I’d be creeped out at night – especially by those spiders!
