2012 Halloween Mantel & Decor
I want to show of my Halloween decorations today!
Starting with this year's mantel.
I incorporated a lot of the items that I made last year, with a few new ideas and items.
I'm loving my spider web doily bunting draped like this!
And my favorite part?
The vinyl bats coming out of the fireplace!
I cut a ton of them last year on my Silhouette and stashed away the ones I didn't use.
I think I will be putting them here for years to come!
Working around that television is a tad annoying. All of my decor has to be short to stay out of the way.
But I found some fantastic "short" new decor to incorporate this year!
You probably recognize my faux mercury glass skull.
The silver glitter pumpkin was a Target score.
And that owl...
Oh how I love my new owl!
I found him at Home Goods.
Isn't he perfect?
I love using purple for Halloween.
I always decorate my black hutch for the holidays and this year doesn't vary much from the past except for the addition of the spider webs and black cheesecloth (Dollar Tree!).
And those white votive candles... more on them later this week!
I figure once Halloween is over I simply need to remove the webs (and the cheesecloth and banner), and I'll be all set for fall decor!
You can find out more about the rhinestone and lace pumpkin, faux pumpkin vase,
I put my Halloween lollies on the smaller white hutch and filled my drink dispenser with mini pumpkins. The web is from the Dollar Tree. The spider is from Home Goods.
I decided to display my pumpkins and jack-o-lanterns on the old sewing machine table.
My glitter pumpkins held up great in storage the last year!
I really need to use that technique again!
I spruced up my chalkboard pumpkin topiary by placing some of my glitter glue spider webs between them.
I bought this cherry blossom tree online at Kirkland's earlier in the year for a good price.
And I love it!
So I knew I had to decorate it for Halloween.
Last year I had the foresight to pick up some Halloween ornaments on clearance after the holiday.
I also added all my odd and end decorations to the floating cubbies.
My wicked printable is hanging out with some of my favorite candles.
In the entryway I kept it pretty simple with another Dollar Tree web.
The sign was an after Halloween purchase from Target last year.
The teddy bear witch was my grandmother's.
And my favorite decor in the whole house?
My spooky Halloween centerpiece on the kitchen table.
LOVE IT!!
that lace doily garland is to die for!!

So many beautifully decorated spaces in your home. It looks fantastic. Megan
Your house is way much more fun than mine! I want that purple owl!!!!
I really like all the little details but I think the mantel is my favorite it has a touch of scary but elegant at the same time! Everything looks great!
Very cute! I love the dark doilies, the Halloween lollies and the light up tree. Beautiful!
Your kitchen table centerpiece is lovely, and can't wait to see more of those votive candle holders!
I love the doily garland! It looks so great!
I love the doilies and I love how you used those spiderwebs as backdrops, really cool! I also want to tell you that I follow you on Pinterest and I LOVE all the things you pin, when I scroll into your pinning area I can always tell I have gotten to you! 🙂
You are so creative with your seasonal decorating! I love all the cute little details. Great job, Michele! 🙂
This is all so great!! I love seeing how you've decorated all the different little spots! I think my favs are the mantel of course (so jealous of that owl!!) and your dining table centerpiece! Oh - and the spider webs from the dollar store make great additions to everything. I love it all!!
It looks so pretty...can you come help me? I love the 2 garlands and all of the details.
Your home looks so festive! Cute owl, I love homegoods, it's my go to store.
it all looks fabulous, Michele! so creative.
i must admit my favorite is that corner with the Halloween tree. What a great spot to read some Halloween books!
