A Halloween Mantle - Try Bringing Yard-Art In!

Using outdoor decorations inside your home for Halloween decorating, brings an unexpected element that always adds to the fun! 
These little guys were brought in out of the cold and tucked inside a dining room fireplace.



 Flowers, gourds and pumpkins were used in front of the spooky trio on the fireplace hearth, adding fall color as well as hiding the electrical cord!!



Dollar Store beverage cups adorn the mantle's edge and peek out of the fall flower arrangements. 
Using multiple pieces of the same styled item always adds impact!!



*  Additional Tips!
*  Including the color bright green, makes all the other colors POP!
* The use of additional accent lighting will help highlight the area you want emphasized. 
   This can be as understated and as simple as the votive candles shown in the photo above.

This season look around your home, garage and attic to see what you may already have that you can use this year in different ways. It will save you time, money AND frustration!! 

Have FUN!!
