Black and White for Halloween, Elegant and Whimsical.

Halloween Decorating - Elegant Black and White - The Decorated House
As the cooler Fall weather finally reaches us, I usually get a burst of energy and a desire to get some projects done. This year we have been hard at work for a couple of months already. So it feels more like time to sit back with a good book or great movie. Although I'm not doing as much Halloween decorating this year, I have noticed there is no need to add pretend spider webs or dust to make things look scary. It feels like a layer of dust is on everything!

We're working on the den/family room. We found some damage in there, and I thought we should tear somethings apart before hiring anyone, so we would know exactly what we were going to be dealing with. Like the ol' days, it turned out to be the first step in just doing the work ourselves, even though I swore those days were gone. After the demolition, things have gone very well, slowly without rush, just getting it done. We have a lot to do yet. Somehow "re"modeling and working around older construction always takes twice as much effort and time. 

Now if I can just get a magic broom to go sweep up the dust bunnies, I think I could continue reading a good book and enjoy the show. I hope you are all enjoying your season of Autumn.

~ Fall Decorating ~ Get Ready for Halloween

I love the fact that so many people still find fun and joy in Halloween. The days seem to have suddenly grown shorter, even though the cooler weather hasn't found us yet. It will soon
enough, so there is no complaining here. I am sure that Halloween will still be lot of black and
 white for me, and the Mercury glass pumpkins and the velvet pumpkins are still  favorites.

Beau Bunny and his friends are decked out in Halloween attire in the shop and available now. 
Emily Grace likes to pose with her sweet black kitty and Raven, too.
