Faded colors, old-fashioned faces, worn frames, and dusty-looking props can make a room seem like it has celebrated Halloween for generations. That old-school look is one I keep coming back to when decorating for October. A thrifted frame, an aged Halloween print, or a…
Give me a few old boxes, some paint, and a free afternoon, and the yard can become a Halloween scene. Outdoor decorating is where Halloween gets really fun.

Give me a front door and a pile of Halloween craft supplies, and I’m ready to have some fun. Halloween decor is one of those times when you can forget about playing it safe. A little black ribbon here, a creepy spider there, and suddenly an ordinary wreath has a whole new attitude. In the…
