Traditionally, I’m not a fan of Halloween. I haven’t worn a costume in years and I rarely even buy a bag of candy! This year, after chatting with my husband about our home, we decided we should try to be a little more festive and put some effort into decor. By the time we made this decision, it was mid-October. The decor is super festive but simple and easy to put together.

I added faux cobwebs from the Dollar Tree along with the little pumpkin to give our bar cabinet a spooky base. Our small skeleton man is from Party City, and so is the lone skeleton head.
The bar includes a witch’s hat, which seemed appropriate for brewing something special, and mini creepy crawly spiders.
On the table, I added a ‘creepy’ black netting as the base with black taper candles and holders. I love the dark gothic look here, only thing missing is our black flatware that unfortunately didn’t match the website description and had to return.
I up-cycled old pillar candles from our wedding for the coffee table and added a black paint drip. Our usual moss balls that nest in the black bowl were replaced with skulls.
For the porch, I went with a simple chalkboard sign and glow-in-the-dark skeleton. Most of this decor is sourced from Party City and Dollar tree. Ive added some comparable items from Amazon below.

Let me know what you think of our minimal Halloween decor.
Thanks!
Today, I went to the beachfront with my children. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She placed the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is entirely off topic but I had to tell someone!
