Halloween Mantel

Today my daughter and I worked on decorating our house for Halloween.  We started with the fireplace mantel.  I found the cutest Halloween cat at Hobby Lobby so he is the center of attention on our mantel.  We mostly used a leaf garland, pine cones and lots of raffia pumpkins.  Then we sprinkled a few creepy skull candles in.


Fireplace Before

Fireplace After!











My favorite witch, by Jim Shore

The festive fireplace looked so good it made the windows look plain.  So we fancied them up, too!





And I can't resist showing you Yankee Candle's take on American Gothic.  Since Grant Wood is from Iowa and one of my favorite artists, I had to get it.  Love it!

    The mantle turned out really cute. I am loving the elephant circus picture also. Not your typical artwork. Love it.

    I think you and your hubby should dress like the Grant Wood farmer & wife for Halloween.
