Decorating for Halloween

This year Halloween went gold and black. Gilded skeletons on the porch, black velvet on the door, and not a single orange pumpkin in sight. Here's everything, so you can save it for next October.

The Front Door

Skeleton Pampas Wreath. Dried pampas and wheat grass with a gold skeleton tied in a black bow. Boho, a little spooky, and it carries straight through fall.

Black Heart Wreath. Moody black foliage shaped into a heart, finished with a long velvet tail. Handmade by a small Etsy shop.

On the Porch

36" Posable Skeletons. Big enough to make an entrance. Pose them sitting on the steps or waving at everyone who comes up the walk.

Inside

Life-Size Bronze Skull. A gilded skull for the mantel, console or bookshelf. Tuck it into faux cobwebs or let it stand on its own.

Bone Taper Candles. Bone-shaped tapers in brass candlesticks. Creepy in the best way, and still elegant on the table.

Save this for next October, and shop everything from the link in my Instagram bio, @thehousewivesguide.
