Our First October

Halloween is one of my favorite holidays to decorate for, thanks to my mom.  I remember as a kid coming home from school and finding our house transformed by simple Halloween decorations.  Anyone remember the jack-o-lanterns with the black fuzzy faces?  And the witches that were hinged with brads?  I have a really cruddy memory when it comes to my childhood but I remember the vignettes she created on the end tables and the things she stuck on the huge, funky 1970's mirror that hung in the dining room (like the fuzzy faced pumpkins). 

I love bringing the colors of the seasons inside.  It's a fun way for me to try out a lot of color combinations through out the year since I have a problem with loving too many styles/colors to ever permanently settle on just one.  Just another reason the white walls will stay for a bit longer.  I've been putting off posting these since I had some projects to complete and some other area's of the house I wanted to photograph but I figured since there's only a couple more days left in October, I better just post what I have!

(I just tried out the new photo viewer in Blogger when you click to enlarge a photo while reading, pretty snazzy.  You should try it if you haven't, just don't pay too much attention to all the out of focus pictures.)






And if you're still with me, here's the front porch...

So I was going through my reader and went to your post and was Like HEY! That looks just like my cousins house! She must have been featured on a blog for her cute house! And then I realized it was your blog. Props.
