I love Halloween!
My kids get so EXCITED & their excitement is contagious!
I've had this idea for a few years to make covered backs for the shelves in my family room.
I wanted them to be interchangeable for the different holidays.
I finally made them this year!
It all started last weekend when we were at Target & my husband found an outdoor fireplace on clearance for $17 bucks!
Isn't it cute?
It roasts marshmallows perfectly too & The cardboard box came in handy for my shelf idea!
I measured the backs of the shelves, cut my cardboard pieces & wrapped them in black & white polk-a-dot wrapping paper.
These are my shelves before...
Here they are with the decorative backing...
AND
Here they are all decorated for HALLOWEEN...
I love how they turned out!
My kids thought it was "spook"-tacular!
Now I just need to add some candy to my "mummy" dish!
Our family room is officially ready...
We got the witch flying over the moon a few years ago at an after Halloween clearance sale.
Then I made some paper bats to hang up around her. It's one of my favorite decorations!
I always add a fall wreath to the fireplace.
Then I replace my candles with pumpkins.
We found our haunted house last year at T.J. Maxx & I've had the cat for years.
I always know we've gone a little crazy when my sister walked in & said,
"Wow, it looks like Halloween threw up in here!"
