Halloween Mantel

Keep in mind that I have small children - hence the crazy orange and ghost lights.  :)


And just as a reminder, here is what it looked like dressed up for Fall.


The lighting was definitely better then, wasn't it?  haha.

I pretty much kept it the same.  I just removed the greenery, and placed the pumpkins on the mantel, in the pots; removed the Happy Fall sign, and added BOO; and removed the fabric and added two frames filled with yellowed book pages.   And of course, the lights.  Who could miss the lights?  haha.










Linking up to the Halloween Mantel Party at A to Z.  Head on over to check out the other SpOokY Mantels!  :)

  1. Your ghost lights are totally cute! My boys would love those! And I love that your mantel background is black. It makes everything on the foreground pop (and works perfectly for Halloween). Thanks so much for linking up!

  2. I love those ghost lights. Are the ghosts made from fabric or plastic?
