Happy Friday Friends!
Things are getting real pumpkiny {yep I just made that a word} around these parts! If you are following along with us on Instagram, you may have seen the TRAILER full of pumpkins…. Ahhh! And so the fun begins. {I may be headed to the store later today to stock up on caffeine and chocolate! Just sayin’!} This Saturday we will be kicking this madness off by having a few friends over, and we can’t wait. This has turned into such a fun tradition!!
In the meantime, I’ve done a little inside decorating to help us get into the Halloween mood! Can I just ‘maybe’ say that I am loving the neutral feel to my mantle! I tried to keep things simple this year. I reused a ton of stuff I had and just moved things around. I love that I can use my books year round simply by covering them with some darling holiday themed paper that I got at Michaels. I did get a few new things: The scented witches brooms {from Walmart}, my cute burlap banner {from Target similar to this one} and the freshly decorated chalk board! Simple but spooky! I’ll let the next few pictures speak for themselves…
My chalkboard art was inspired by Michael’s Hocus Pocus Broom Co Post from Inspired Charm. I loved his broom wall from a few years ago!
So what do you think? Are you liking the neutral or are you more of an orange and black kinda decorator?? I have too much color in my house to decorate with much color for holidays. It soon looks like the circus if I do.
Make sure to check back to see how things are coming and to see the final pumpkins! Here is a look back at a few of our past pumpkin carvings from 2014 2013 and 2012 .

Have a great weekend!
Check out Part 1 of our Fall Decorating Tour.
I love your neutral mantle. But I also hate purple and orange! Still I do love it at Halloween—a fun time to take advantage of colors I would never use on a regular basis. Love that hanging birdcage. I can see a big fuzzy spider in there!
Love the neutral, it all looks very cute…maybe I shouldn’t use “cute” to describe Halloween…but it is….
love this decorating….you’ve totally managed a stylish look for Halloween. love it
That mantle is gorgeous! You did an amazing job!
