Happy Halloween, my friends!!!
Do you decorate?
Cozy or spooky?!

Our Halloween House
We decorated our house for Halloween on a dark and cloudy Thursday afternoon. Halloween Decorating Day has always been a favorite in our family. We wait for a spooky-looking day...no sunshine, thank you...and carry the orange and black tubs up from the basement. We find the Halloween CD we have had forever and put it in to play. Then we spend an hour or so creating a cozy, happy Halloween home. Peyton always makes a special treat for us too.

I don't decorate for Halloween, but will throw out a couple of fall pieces. I did do a lot more when my kids were little. I had always thought I would decorate for the grandkids, but we live so far away, they may or may not get to see it. Your home looks so festive and fun!
ReplyDeleteEverything looks so festive Billie Jo. I don't decorate for Halloween anymore, other than the traditional jack o lantern. More fall, to carry us through to Thanksgiving.
ReplyDeleteSadly I don't bother with Halloween but do add a few Autumn touches. Your home looks amazing always so warm and welcoming.
ReplyDeleteI can imagine the fun everyone had, when our kids were home we always looked forward in the fall to decorating together! Thanks for visiting and for leaving a sweet comment!

Hey hey. Turned out cute. I do not decorate for Halloween,but this year day did the front yard.
ReplyDeleteBillie Jo, your home looks so cozy and festive!!! What a beautiful home you create for you family! You truly inspire me and make my heart happy. Hugs to you. Have a blessed week. Juli
ReplyDeleteThis was always one of my favorite days of the year! I would LOVE one of Peyton's brownies right now. My favorite Halloween decoration will forever be the little wooden black cat with the pumpkins on its collar. <3
ReplyDeleteWOW!!!! Your family does it up "to the 9's!"!!!!!
ReplyDeleteFantastic!
and yes, that is a Halloween Tree, over in the corner! ,-)
But you didn't show us the special treat, which Peyton made. -pout-
I decorate, but not as fully, as you do. I have parred down my decoration stash, over the years, actually. But then, we are older.
But actually, I'm still not taking it easy, on my poor husband! 3 sets of all year faerie lights, died at the same time! So he had to bring in a ladder, and play with 3 new sets, and it was not easy. 'Cause I wanted them draped over pictures too. Eeeek!
But he did it!
We so need these bits of ambiance lighting, in the dark corners of the brick wall where the fireplace is.
Love everything in your house! I want to come for a cup of coffee! :-) I'll even wear my purple witch's hat, with the veiling, with spiders on it!!!!!!!!!!

I just love all of your traditions! I decorate for fall but not really for Halloween. I have so many pumpkins around now the house looks a bit ridiculous!
ReplyDeleteBtw, I noticed Madison's comment, right above mine. So clicked and found her blog. Not seeing a way to comment, I filled in a "write to me" place, which I found.
ReplyDeleteI adored her post "The sun is not my friend"! Also so love it, that she has come to love her beautifully pale skin. She is so lucky, to not be able to tan. I didn't, by choice. And at 80, my face is sooo much better, than others my age, and younger. :-)
But my grand daughters do tan. -sigh- One more than the other. Well, except for the ginger haired one. She can NOT. :-) I so dislike to see young women tanning!!!!! -sigh- They will be sorry. But there is no telling them. :-)

Love your decorations! Looks absolutely perfect! You are amazing! Hope you have a great week!
ReplyDeleteI love it! So so much! My favorite is that little wooden cat on two pumpkins sign. It speaks to me. :)
ReplyDeleteYou picked a perfect day to decorate as Thursday night was the full moon!! Your house looks ready for Halloween I love all your decorations!! I like a little of both, but mostly on the spooky side, I also love to make a spooky halloween dinner.
ReplyDeleteAwesome, just awesome!
ReplyDeleteYour home looks awesome!!! So festive and cozy!!! Where did you find the Owl count down?
ReplyDeleteEnjoy, Janie
Hi!
DeleteI found it on Zulily!
But you have to look there early... Halloween things are there in July!
Thanks for the reply. :)
Delete{{{Giggling}}} I say this all the time to you, but I am moving in, smiles...I usually decorate cozy, like you...but since I'm having surgery on the 31st this year and Liam is 20 and doesn't trick or treat anymore...I just decided to skip the Halloween and go straight into Thanksgiving and fall...and since hubby will be with me in the hosp. we're not handing out candy this year...smiles
ReplyDeleteI love your decorations and you make everything look so cozy and fallish/halloweenish! lol
ReplyDeleteIf I visited your house, I'd never leave!! I feel all warm and cozy just looking at the pictures!! :)
ReplyDeleteHi Billie Jo~
ReplyDeleteI wish you could see me smiling right now . . . and maybe, clapping my hands! I love, Halloween, but it has taken my some time to fully enjoy it. My father passed away on Halloween over 30 years ago. It's funny how those sad things stick with you. But, I decided years ago to embrace the day, to enjoy it in a fun way and remember him with a smile, instead of a tear.
I love your decorations, they are just spooktacular! I don't really decorate for, Halloween, although I do have a few little pumpkin cuteness here and there.
Have a great week!
Hugs and Love,
Barb
I love all of your Halloween decorations! So many fun candles scattered everywhere too, I can almost smell them all burning throughout your home.
ReplyDeleteThose brownies look so good!! Everything looks so fun and cozy. :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Tuesday!

ReplyDeleteSome scary, some cozy but both entwined with Fall decor.
ReplyDeleteBoo Billie Jo! Your home is so festive! I haven't decorated much inside but the outside looks great! I'll post pictures soon. xo
ReplyDeleteI love all your Halloween decorations. Your house is always so festive. The three pillows in the first picture..love them!!
