I love Halloween.
I’ve seen some amazing Halloween decor on Pinterest that has me wishing and dreaming for a house with a front porch, yard or even a fireplace.

Not going to lie, I feel a little limited in my apartment. With no front steps for pumpkins or lawn for silly decorations, most of these ideas need to be filed for another year or so.
That being said, I decided it was time to make the apartment a little more “spooky” since Halloween is less than two weeks away. Having an apartment is no excuse not to be a little kooky around the holidays! My mom is theme decorator extraordinaire (I kid you not, my house rivals the Griswald’s at Christmas) so she started me off for my first holiday at the apartment.
First off, cute “BOO!” dish towels to replace my usual Tuscan-themed ones.
Then, this absolutely hideous “festive” table cloth that literally scares me every time I walk into my kitchen. Oh, the horror…literally!!
Last, my favorite item, which I bought myself from HomeGoods. A cute welcome sign for our front door.
I LOVE it. Makes me laugh every time I come home from a rough day at work (since it’s obviously VERY true). As I always say, it’s the little things!!
Do you decorate for Halloween? What about the other holidays? What have you done so far at your place?

Oh my god, that BOO dish towel is adorable! Where is it from?
We don’t do Halloween here, although it’s becoming more and more popular among kids. I remember two years ago, we moved into our apartment on Halloween and obviously had (almost) no food – let alone candy – and some kids came trick or treating. I felt so bad having to tell them that we didn’t have anything!
It’s from HomeGoods! Do you have those by you? It’s my favorite store of all time!!
Very cute! We don’t have much space either or many decorations yet, so I just have a ceramic pumpkin on our coffee table. Those towels are really cute!
p.s. are you able to follow young house love? they use wordpress.org as well. so if you are able to follow them and have it show up in your feed, then it must be an issue on my end.
No, they don’t show up either. Ugh…something is totally wrong with my feed. I wonder if I did something wrong??
Okay – then I know why it’s because you use WordPress.Com and YHL and myself use WordPress.org – So i’m assuming that you can only follow blogs powered by the .COM version and not the.ORG version.
Damn, you’re good. I didn’t even know there was a difference. I’m VERY new to this whole blogging/online thing. I’m so lost!!
😛 I have a computer programming/web design background so I know computer stuff fairly well (nothing like my systems engineer boyfriend though!) There is a pretty big difference between the .COM version and the .ORG version. If you ever have any questions, I can try to help!
cute ideas for apartment decorating!
Thank you!! Little things make a big difference in our little space. 🙂
That welcome sign is too cute and hilarious!
Cute towel… I haven’t found any fun pumpkin or festive towels this year… I guess I will hold off and wait for new christmas towels…
Isn’t pinterest totally addicting!!
Yes, I absolutely LOVE pinterest! Although it makes me want to be a DIY Queen and I am SO not there yet. 🙂
Aw I love the sign!
I haven’t really decorated for Halloween, other than a couple of mums and pumpkins on the front step. Everyone else in the neighborhood looks like they’re going all out, though, so we may have to step up!
I really need to start decorating for Halloween. I usually just decorate for ‘fall’, and then try to put up my Christmas decor Nov. 1st! I did put up some pumpkins and mums though! That witch sign is cute!
November 1st!! Wow…you’re good! I’ll probably start decorating for Christmas after Thanksgiving. Maybe December 1st!
