Halloween

My favorite time of the year!   It's fall in Arizona which means we are out of the 100 degree temperatures and into the low 90's!   Pumpkins and football and cooler weather = happiness!    It also means Thanksgiving and Christmas are right around the corner!

When we painted the interior walls last year I moved the entrance way table from this wall and added a mirror and bench.   Now it's is my go-to place to hang a banner.   I'm not gonna lie, I like banners almost as much as I like wreaths. 


Pumpkins.  Banners.  Pillows.   I love how just a few items can make such a festive statement.




And that  black and white chevron pillow?   It sets my heart aflutter.  It's actually a pillow cover with a flower clip that I found at Hobby Lobby.   Years ago I started buying pillow covers instead of buying all new pillows because storage was becoming an issue.  That and I was getting side-eye from Sweetheart every time a new pillow came into the house.   The Happy Halloween pillow is from the Dollar Spot at Target.



And talk about setting my heart aflutter.   I don't know why I have an obsession with wreaths.   Maybe because they dress up a door and have a way of saying "welcome to our home"!



I'm not really the Queen of Halloween......



Polka dots are also one of my favs.   I love this darling coffin with the white polka dots and the orange ribbon.  It's a great color combo.


Didn't I tell you I loved banners?


Remember the entrance way table that I mentioned moving from the wall by the front door?  Well I re-purposed it and now it's a desk in the living room corner.   And the mirror behind it is a recent addition.  We had it our bedroom (before that it hung over our sectional in the living room) but we recently bought a media center for the bedroom and the mirror had to go.   We didn't want to get rid of it but it's a beast and really heavy so we were looking for a place where we could just lean it.    I've seen plenty of  Pinterest inspired rooms where a large mirror is placed behind a table so we tried it.   And we liked it.      




That "beware" sign has to be about 10 years old but still adorable.   



And those little colorful, glittered pumpkins....love them!   They are from Target and when I first saw them I had to have them. 



Hobby Lobby faux flowers and  pumpkin with a message finishes off the decor.


Happy Halloween all!
