Halloween Past and Present

 Last Year:

This Year:
I decided to change out the wreath on my front door since it looked a little too small, plus I found a great place to put the small one - you'll see that below.  I made the new wreath from an inspiration photo I had on Pinterest.

I got all my wreath supplies at Hobby Lobby.  The wood vine wreath was $6 (I actually paid $3.60 though with a 40% off coupon). The bag off moss was $6 which I just pulled apart and hot glued in place.  Finally, the pumpkins were on sale for $0.75 a piece, they are on picks so I just shoved them in place on the wreath.  A very easy wreath to make and the total comes to $15!

  Finally I added a couple of pumpkin towers by the sides of the door.  The pumpkins were orange and I painted them white, then just before the paint was dry I used a wet paper towel to wipe some areas off so that the orange showed through.  The top pumpkin is actually from all a dollar but the bottom two are from Hobby Lobby (make sure to buy them when they are half off!).  I hot glued the tower together then placed them in the urns that usually hold topiaries (see above).

I liked the pumpkin picks so much I bought extra and added them to these indoor wreaths as well!

Obviously the big change is our fireplace and built-ins.

The smaller wreath from my front door now sits on the mantel and I added some other halloween touches to the bookshelves.  Not much -I know, but I used decorations I already had on hand so this decor cost me nothing!

The rest of the Halloween Decor in my house stayed pretty much the same as last year.
