Vintage Halloween Mantel

Well, as far as decorating goes, it looks like I am at a stand still till I can figure out WHAT the Heck I am doing with the space??? It’s going to take some time to figure out everything.  
In the meantime, I switched gears to Halloween decorating.

 Remember this picture? 
This was my inspiration picture for the mantle

And here is OUR version of a Spooky Halloween mantle!
What do you think? 
I am really happy how it turned out!  Phew, after this project I am out of energy, my kids will have to fend for themselves this year and buy some store bought costumes. I usually like to sew them, but I’m no Super woman!(wink)  

During the process of assembling the mantle, a few pictures fell off and broke into a million pieces in the MIDDLE of the night, EEK!!! Can you imagine the sound of crashing glass at 3:00 AM? 

So after that heart-racing experience, I figured it was safer to leave the glass out of the bigger frames.

Here are some more pictures up close!


 My 7-year-old son decided to also give the decorating thing a try.  Here’s what he came up with. You’ve got to LOVE it, he he 🙂

Happy Halloween EVERYONE!!!
