I’m glad I remembered Halloween was Thursday!  Here are the final set of pics for our lawn and house.

I tried to put where i got things in case you are inspired to do some last minute decorating and shopping.

I’ve enjoyed the house this month, but I’m ready to have a clear house again for a few short weeks before Holiday Decorating.

My camera ( ahem, the photographer struggles as well) can never get good pics of the yard decor at night, so I had a friend who is a great photographer give it a try.

Check her out!

All of the outside shots in this post are hers, she made my yard look great even though her talents are put to much better use on people!

The spider garland is felt and glittery on a very pretty ribbon. $6 Target right now 🙂

Adventures in Decorating: Easter 2013 Final House and Porch

I’m one of those people who  tinkers with the decor until I have it just so, I don’t know if it’s a personal sickness or  if anyone can even tell a difference, but it’s part of my process and pretty akin to how I do most things. The first pass is usually not enough, there has to be a way to make it better!  It relaxes me, sort of like puttering in the garden.   Here are the final pics of Easter 2013.  I’m the happiest with my Easter outdoor Chick tree and that I was able to use all the tiers of the metal egg tree.  I snuck a few more bunnies in the house, shhh don’t tell Babu!  I’m in a hurry to get these posted for you, I will come back and get them labeled and in better order later Lovies, we are tackling the mud room makeover today!
