It’s the three-week countdown to Halloween and if you haven’t gotten your costumes and candy yet, this is your final warning! While you’re at it, maybe you want to dress up your porch for all those darling trick-or-treaters. Kristy is never one to shy away from the festive furnishings, and this year is no exception . . . her porch is all decked out with scarily chic decorations. Your porch will look boo-tiful too with this fun and fabulous spooky season decor. See our inspiration below.
Ding dong, it’s your brand new front door! Take your door from drab to fab with a fresh coat of paint! This wood look paint kit will make any ordinary door extraordinary. Kristy’s metal door (see the before look in the photo below) takes on a whole new vibe with a few coats of this paint . . . you’d never know the door isn’t real wood! Add a few carefully curated accents like lanterns, a welcome sign, and a gorgeous doormat and your front door will feel extra inviting.
Now for the fun stuff! Add your spooky touches like a Halloween wreath and doormat, and then bring on the bats. Drape some gauzy fabric on your furniture, hang a banner or two, and don’t forget your cart full of treats for your delivery drivers (see that post here)!!
Set the vibes with these colorful lights and hanging witches hats. Add some tabletop decor and let things get creepy cool once the sun goes down.
Don’t forget your frightening friends! This glamourous witch and this smiling skeleton are ready for the ultimate Halloween hangout. Grab your favorite beverage, a bucket of candy, and get ready to kick back and relax.
