Black and White Decorations

by Chris on September 29, 2009

With the mudroom having it’s “new” look, I decided to go with a “new” Halloween look, as well.  The ol’ orange and black just wouldn’t have fit in here.

Why not spook it up with a little black and white?  I bought the little ghost on clearance at Hallmark last year, and I had completely forgotten about it.  Isn’t that fun?

A little nest from Hobby Lobby (I painted it), a little fur from Hobby Lobby (I cut it from a boa), and a little clearance pumpkin from Hobby Lobby (yup, painted it). I think the total was, like, $2.00.

Here’s a little sneak peak at my new china cabinet.  I’m giddy.  Simply giddy.

IMG_7389 I’ll be back.  Don’t forget to enter for the Queen Bee Designs giveaway!  It doesn’t end until Wednesday!!!

Love the black and white look! That pumpkin in the nest with the feather boa trim is fantastic. I want one!

I actually dug up your photos from last year awhile back because I knew I loved some things you did then. I adore the pumpkin, boa, nest combination and am totally you in my dining room right now. Hubby is a little confused as to why the pumpkin is in a nest and wearing feathers. Men. They just don't get it, do they? Very, very cute. And stop teasing us with your craft room already. Ummmmkay?

Super cute! I love black and white for Halloween. I used the same color scheme with my Halloween decor in my foyer. That ghost is the best! Wish I'd seen that at my Hallmark store!

I still just love that lamp. What a wonderful thing to see when you come home!

And I love the way the picture of your hutch shows just a bit of that sweet camera. More! More! Can't wait to see what's making you giddy.

Blessings,

Yours doesn't look like Hobby Lobby threw up in it – a lot of Halloween does to me.

NICO Designs September 29, 2009 at 1:15 pm

Looks great; I realy like the house.

I am looking forward to the cabinet reveal.

Victoria September 29, 2009 at 1:30 pm

I am loving the black & white look this year too! I painted my living room and orange just wouldn't work.

Loving the little nest and fur that you have the pumpkin in!

Anonymous September 29, 2009 at 3:53 pm

I simply adore the little nest and pumpkin. Thank you for telling us you painted that pumpkin white. I have seen them other places and wondered if they were fake or some weird white gourds. I had a duh moment when I read you had painted it. lol ;) Now you know what I will be doing today. hee hee

Tammy September 29, 2009 at 4:47 pm

Love the black and white! I love decorating for Fall. When I get decorations out of storage, it's always fun to see what I had from the year before that I had forgotten or things I had bought and forgotten about. TFS

LOVE it! I am obsessed with the black and white theme for Halloween too. I just completed 2 pumpkin topiaries for my front porch…white pumpkins, polka dots, birds, birdcage…all my favorite things! Come by and see if you get a chance.

I found Halloween decorations that I got on clearance after Halloween last year! It was soo fun finding them!

Decor Girl September 30, 2009 at 12:14 am

Perfect! I was just checking out B&W Christmas decor at Hob Lob today and was trying to decide where i could use it. Very nice :)

Robin September 30, 2009 at 12:26 am

Cute! Love the black and white, great job.

Fancy…I love your spooky sign – it's so "death and dreary" chic.
