Beware the Grim Reaper

Thought I would give my foyer a Spooky makeover for Halloween this year and invite the Grim Reaper to be the   Star of the Show.  
So won't you all come in....please!

Don't be afraid, he won't hurt you, we've trained him to be a nice 
Grim Reaper.




I added these Rat Silhouette's to the stair risers.  
I've seen this done throughout blogland and loved it.  So off I went to the Dollar Tree..again... where I got a package of 15 for...yes....$1.00.  Most of my Halloween 
decorations came from either Michael's or the Dollar Tree.....just love that store! 


I added some black tulle and other long black floral things to the banister.


And here we have Mr. Bones, our skeletonall decked out in a feather boa....just perfect for the occasion!




I guess by now you can tell that we love Halloween over here.  Thanks so much for stopping by, I'm partying with,

  6. Love your Halloween decore--my son really likes the mice on the stairs (so do I). Thanks for stopping by my blog--I think white is actually the easiest color to keep clean! I always say--ever color gets dirty so whats really the difference?! I use Oxyclean on everything. All the furniture is Ikea with washable slipcovers and the bedding etc--just throw in the wash with oxyclean! I only have to wash the slipcovers like every 3 months--and I have 4 kids (only 3 still at home) 3 dogs and 2 cats!

  22. How much fun! I love the skeleton in the chair and the mice on the stairs. I didn't see any mice at the DT and made mine from Martha's website. It would have been so much easier to get them at the dollar store. Love your foyer. Happy Halloween.
