Our Halloween Cottage

Thanks for stopping in!

Now that life has settled a little bit,

and things are at a slightly more managable pace,

I have been able to do my decorating for Halloween.

Usually the front window has a few candles on the sill,
but this year I wanted a little more.
Silhouettes!
This was so much fun to do.
All I needed was black poster paper and
some sticky tack!

I followed a pattern on my pinterest board,
cut it out and sticky tacked it onto the window.
I added a string of orange led lights just to add
a little glow for the night time.

A new little owl to greet you at our door,
ready and waiting for trick or treaters.
He seems to fill up this corner very well.

This fence panel pumpkin was at VV!
He's a little crazy looking, but cute.

My front door wreath got a fresh look.
I striped everything off of the old one,
wrapped the purple boa around and around, added
a few different ribbons, black flowers and string
to make it messy and magical. Then I
topped it with a few twisty, sparkly, stretchy sticks
to add a little bling.

"Come in my Pretty", my witch is waiting for you!

I think she has had too much candy :s

The cauldron is filled with poly fill.
For Halloween I put a few glow sticks
underneath the fill.
It ends up looking like it is foaming over.
Toxic.

A few brooms, if you want to take
a ride.

This witch was the center of my wreath last year.
She has definitely seen better days!

The corner of our living room got a
new ladder, a spooky tea towel and my favorite
skull necklace.

Crows, spiders, candles, pumpkins...

Spooky!

My favorite spot...

our dining room.

Over the last few months we inherited a

beautiful Welsh Dresser. Lovely to look at but, better

yet, this piece is rich with family history.

I love it.

This welsh dresser sits in this nook like the house

was built around it. I couldn't believe how

perfectly it fit.
Thank you Grandma.

Well, there you have it!

I hope you enjoyed my Halloween Tour,
it's always so much fun to do, I am glad I
could share it with you!

Cottage Tour

**UPDATED**

Welcome! This is our home, my passion, our nest.

And if you are here, then you are probably searching for ideas, which is what I love to do.

If I am search for a new mix of colours, a fresh way to do a shelf display, sometimes how to make something. But I'm always seeking. Well, welcome and I hope I am able to provide

some inspiration. If you have any questions, please leave a comment and I will do my best to provide an answer to the best of my ability.

If this is your first time here you will notice that I like to mix a bunch of styles together. I am a firm believer that if it is something you love it will work. Some times it needs a little reworking but it will work. In this post I have links that will take you deeper into that room , giving you more

information and ideas, so please click on the link to that post.

Our home is open concept. I love it, but it does create a challenge when trying to harmonise all the different zones in one big space. I have gotten over the trying to keep it cluttered free.

As I am sure you can tell. Our home is on the smaller scale, and our furniture is on the larger scale.

Until I meet that amazing love seat and sofa set these will stay.

Soon to undergo another slip cover set.
