Holiday decorating continued...

OK. So both the outside and inside of your house are classically decorated to reflect the beautiful season of autumn. But what about Halloween decorations? The key to adding a festive Halloween touch to your seasonal décor is to do it tastefully. In addition to the pumpkins, mums and cornstalks you may have adorning the outside of your home, consider adding some bales of hay on which you can position a decorative spider or grapevine pumpkin with lights. Adding faux spider webs to bushes is also a spooky touch. Use white, however, as the green spider webs are a little too kitschy. If you take the time to spread them out very thinly, they appear very realistic and a lot less tacky. Other fun Halloween touches can be in the form of ghosts swaying from your trees, scarecrows leaning against your hay bales and even purple lights on your bushes. Adding some of these ideas to your Halloween landscape will not only be fun, but will make yours the most festive (and tasteful) house on the block as well as the one no trick-or-treater will want to pass up.
