Oh, lynn, you are so-o-o-o innovative with this Halloween decor! Great $$$ finds & ideas for covering your framed art ...& that mantle scarf ...perfect! I love the candleabra's ...that always looks kind of Halloweeny to me...& adding the spiders to the orange candles...creepy! I'm afraid your decor would scare the dickens out of me if I got up in the middle of the night! Realistic! I bet your DD is going to love this room, too! That game table area is just downright chillingly SPOOKY to me!!!

Never too much to look at, lynn...love how you create such wonderful holiday decor! TFS! Jeanne S.

Your whole den looks like a set from an old-timey horror movie. The mantel scarf is my favorite. What you did with the art work is very creative. DD's witch's lab is very spooky. Keep us posted.

WOW! Double WOW! Triple WOW! Your place must look incredible at night. I love it all. Spooky, but not gory. I used to talk about this a lot with my second graders - how much FUN it is to be "pretend scared" and shiver when you read a Halloween story, but not REALLY be scared.

Nice savings on the mantel scarf. I've been looking at them for a couple of years now, but didn't buy one because of the price. Even thought of sewing my own. Never occurred to me to adapt something else. DUH! I'm going to have to go on a shopping spree now.

Do tell about the art work. Love the ghost mirror/painting in the first picture (same technique for the skull picture?). How'd you do that? Looks like you used garbage bags - or did you wrap them in the scary cloth? I did a "cute" ghost (Martha Stewart idea) on the bathroom mirror, but like your style better. Give directions, please.

Those witches stocking boots are bigger than I imagined. That's another idea I'm going to have to copy.

BOO!

It is all just perfect!
I have mantle scarf envy.
I may have to find one of those temp. Halloween stores.

Great job, as usual.

TFS,

Lynn, your obsession with Halloween this year has evolved into some wonderfully creative decorating! What a fantastic idea to use a door panel and cut it up to cover up regular pictures. And the addition of the cutouts really do look dimensional! Love the scarf too--good thinkin gal, you saved a bunch over the mantel scarf and it works perfectly. I really have to give you credit for thinking to use the window clings the way you have. I looked at some at Dollar Tree and it never even crossed my mind that they could be used for anything except on windows--you've opened up a whole new set of decorating options for me! This all looks fabulous. I think you should have a party to show all this off to your friends--Jane, are you well enough to drive the bus yet?????

Lynn, I'm so glad the others said it so well...cause it may take me the rest of the night to get my jaw off the floor!
If jealousy is a sin, I am probably the biggest sinner here. (Good thing I don't live close, that Witch Cat "painting" would be snuck over to my house.) Everything is just too wonderful for me to find the words.

hugs, Karen

Lynn, love all of it. Your fireplace all decorated, looks wonderful.
