Harry Potter Halloween Entryway

Halloween is just around the corner. I have to admit I’m not the best at getting my home “fall ready” but I do love jumping aboard the Halloween train. This year the kids were all about Harry Potter – I love it! So we decided to go all out with a Harry Potter themed entryway. I partnered with World Market on the post because of their huge selection of Halloween decor and goodies – Not only do they have all types of Halloween decor for the inside and out, they even have Halloween food and beverages. Way to make it easy for us World Market!

Pin Pals with Marshalls and my updated fall home tour

Today I’m teaming up with Marshalls to surprise three of my Pinterest followers w a box full of Marshalls products – that I selected based off their Pinterest board. When Marshalls approached me to be a part of the their “Pin Pals” campaign, I was pretty excited. I find it so fun shopping for others. It really gets you in the “holiday spirit”, am I right? Want to see what I got for them? Read on!

Home Trends | Halloween Décor

The scariest part of Halloween is the thought of my house starting to look like a cheesy party supply store. I want my décor to look festive without throwing off the aesthetic of my home and Halloween is one of those holidays where that can be a challenge! So after much searching, I’m excited to reveal 16 sleek and stylish items that will add the perfect touch of Halloween spook to your home. Warning: you might be tempted to leave them out year-round!

1 | METALHEAD SKULL

Place this skull on a stack of scary stories or on a nightstand to scare off the monsters. You can’t go wrong with the glam of polished aluminum.

2 | BLACK PUMPKIN
Don’t have the best luck with Pinterest projects? Don’t worry, this decorative pumpkin is already painted black matte.

3 | BLACKBERRY & PUMPKIN CANDLE

I can’t think of a more fitting scent for Halloween than Blackberry and Pumpkin.

4 | DECORATIVE TRAY
Every home needs a serving tray. The black finish works great for Halloween and will go with everything.

5 | BLACK AND WHITE DINNERWARE SET

Simple and modern—your guests won’t believe this dinnerware set came from WalMart!

6 | METALLIC BARWARE SET

Sip in style! Not only are these beauties nice to look at, they’re also ideal for those of us short on space because they stack.

7 | MATTE BLACK FLATWARE SET

I’m swooning over the boldness of this matte black flatware. It’s unique and classic all at once.

8 | PLAID KITCHEN TOWELS

Buffalo check is making a huge statement this fall. These come in sets of two and are terry woven on the back to make drying quick and easy.

9 | SKULL PRINT DISH TOWELS

These dish towels strike the perfect balance—fun without being kitschy.

10 | PUNCH BOWL WITH LADLE

This glass bowl is tinted in a modern smoke grey and is large enough to serve up drinks to everyone at your Halloween bash.

11 | MOON SPELLS BOOK

This book will help you get into the Halloween spirit and is oh-so-very Sabrina The Teenage Witch. It will make a chic coffee table book—and a good conversation starter!

12 | SPIRITS DECANTER

A fun way to serve up the cheer on All Hallow’s Eve.

13 | NATURAL AND BLACK SEAGRASS AREA RUG

The herringbone pattern on this natural fiber rug adds a touch of fall while the neutral colors make it practical long after Halloween.

14 | FACETED BLACK VASE

This faceted black vase is perfect for holding fall foliage from the yard.

15 | SKULL PILLOW

The crossbones make this pillow a win in my book.

16 | FAUX FUR HIGH-SHEEN THROW

The best part about this throw is that it has the warmth and texture of fur but is entirely animal friendly. The second best part is that it makes for an easy costume. Throw it over your shoulders and go as a black cat. #kiddingnotkidding 🙂

Five for Fifty | Vintage Industrial with Kirklands

We’re halfway through September and I’m really starting to feel the Halloween vibes. Time bring in dark and moody. What do you guys think? Are you ready? I think Halloween is the perfect opportunity to play with your decor a little bit and step out of your comfort zone. I thought it would be fun to walk on the vintage industrial side this fall. Not only is it a fun decor trend, but it fits right in for Halloween time!

I partnered with Kirkland’s to showcase their vintage industrial inspired decor. They have quite a hearty collection right now and it’s just so reasonably priced. It’s hard to resist 😉 ALSO another fun fact: Kirkland’s is celebrating their 50th anniversary! Featuring them as my #FiveforFifty partner is just plain perfect.

ONE $24.99 | TWO* $29.99 | THREE $19.99 | FOUR $29.99 | FIVE $12.99

*Available in stores now!

Happy Halloween!

No post today, but wanted to wish you all a fun Halloween!

We’ve already had quite a bit of fun with some preschool Halloween trunk or treating. Here’s a little glimpse of my set up. BTW – the dry ice was a HUGE hit with that crowd 😉

Also made some organic dark chocolate “mummy” cupcakes using coconut flakes as the mummy wrap and an edible pen for the eyes. 🙂

And that’s just the beginning! Can wait for tonight. Arden’s dressing up like Queen Elsa (who else?!) and Conrad will be Marshmallow (another Frozen character – look him up!). I guess I should just say Happy Elsaween!

An October Table

It’s almost mid-October and I just realized I haven’t decorated. At all. So I figured it was definitely time to take action. I figured I’d start with putting together a great Fall table. I went to my local Lowe’s and picked up a bunch of pumpkins and some decorative moss, mums, matte black spray paint and some other fall decor items. I had a pretty clear idea of what I wanted my table to look like, and the funny thing is, it turned out nothing like I had planned. I’m very happy with the results though. I hope you guys like them too!

I had a great idea of using lots of white, green and black, but ended up going with a warmer tone instead and I love how that warmness really translates. What’s more fall than warm coppery and rose-gold tones ?

I took a copper beaded runner that I usually use for Christmas or Thanksgiving and paired it with some new rose-gold flatware. I used dark espresso wood accents and paired the candler holders with black candles for a more dramatic look. I used some old birds nests we pulled out of some bushes in our backyard along with the sheet moss I bought from Lowe’s – love how the two add some much texture.

Black ribbon tied around the flatware adds a festive touch and the white pumpkins are a great contrast to the wooden bowls and moss. I used some kraft pumpkins I had in the Halloween decor and some pine cones in a large wooden hurricane for a centerpiece.

Have you decorated for Halloween/Fall yet? What sort of color-scheme or theme did you use?

Happy Halloween!

I hope you all are having a happy Halloween! We dressed Arden up as a polar bear, she looks so cozy and cuddly, I die! AND to top it off, she loves wearing her costume. So adorable 🙂

We had a cute little toddler Halloween party last Sat, so it was ~~madness~~ cuteness all around! SO. MUCH. FUN. We’re definitely going to have to make it a Halloween tradition.

Here’s a shot of the treats table as I was setting it up, so not complete yet, but you guys get the picture 😉

Mr. Crow on his perch.

Added some burlap to the ceiling pendant above the dining room table.

A fun Halloween bouquet.

I made mini pumpkin pie bites. They were sooo yummy!

I also made vegan mini pumpkin chocolate chip cupcakes. I think I need to practice my frosting skills, hahaha. But they tasted good, that’s what counts right? 😉

I also attempted to make these mini “pumpkin” cheese balls that I found on Pinterest. Can’t win ’em all 😉

We had (the very addicting) Pirate’s Booty for the mini monsters.

Solo now makes “to go” cups with lids that make perfect sippy cups for the little ones. And I bought these birch paper straws to go with them.

We had fall beer for the adults as well as some “Vampire Punch” which turned out tart and yummy.

And some “spooky” juice for kids.

We also set up a photobooth for everyone to be able to take a family picture with the babies in their costumes. Of course the Mr. and I were having so much fun at the party running around and chatting that we totally forgot to take a picture with all three of us, sigh.
