Halloween

Hi friends,
I have to admit it....we're crazy about decorating for holidays at my house! The kids and I dragged down the Halloween bins from the attic on October 1! They had so much fun rediscovering old Halloween decorations and discovering new purchases that I had made recently from a craft store and added to the bins. The kids helped me decorate our house for Halloween. It's definitely kid friendly decorating, not worthy of a magazine spread. But I wanted to share neverless.

Our favorite Halloween decorations have to be our lights. We come outside every night once it gets dark to dance around the lights.







We even have inside lights.







One of our favorite things to do is to put away our seasonal books, like our Halloween books, and only pull them out during that season. That way we are excited to see those books. They become special.



Other Halloween decorations.














Our new craft projects for Halloween.





What are your Halloween traditions? How do you like to decorate?
Enjoy the fall season all. Here's some Halloween inspiration.












Happy decorating & living,
Megan

House Crashing: Bonus Family Room

Hi friends,
Here we are headed to our final room in my neighbor and friend Alison's beautiful coastal inspired home. Here's the third floor bonus family room. I love the red and blue casual and comfortable room. Notice all of the fuctionality aspects to the room which keep all of Alison's son's toys organized.




































Well, our house crashing tour comes to an end. Thank you again Alison for opening up your home to us. I've been very inspired by your decorating style, functionality philosophy, and eye for great finds.
Happy Sunday everyone,
Megan
