I may have figured out one positive to this situation though. Halloween. I have been told by the neighbors that we get a ton of trick-or-treaters on our street. I think our house looks scary as it is so we may as well embrace it and decorate. If we don't decorate I doubt the cute kids in their little costumes will even knock on the door because this place is just not very inviting as it is. I only plan to decorate for that particular day. I don't want to clutter up the narrow hallway for the weeks prior to the event. My dilemma is that I have never decorated for Halloween before and I am not sure what way to take it. Should we go for fun and playful or really scary like a haunted house? I'm also looking for things to do that are cheap and relatively easy to make since they are only going up for one day. I've started to compile photos of concepts that I could handle making from the Martha Stewart website. There are a lot of great ideas!

I like the silhouettes in the first pic, i think it would be cool if you cut out a bunch of scary people silhouettes and put them along the walls, it will seem like they are shadows and that's super scary! and things hanging down that the kids will run into, like small spiders not really big enough that they will see to avoid them...and we cut out bats and hang them from a corner of our living room, so you could do that in one of the corners, vary the sizes so it looks like they are coming at you and getting closer... i'll let you know what else i think of...
ReplyDeleteI was thinking along the same lines with the silhouettes. I like the idea of having little spiders hanging in the way. That would definitely freak me out! I knew you would have great ideas :)
