From October 2014:
" Once again, i was inspired by Pinterest. I found the cutest thing., making a haunted house out of a old plastic doll house.
Here's my inspiration.
Fabulous Haunted House
****Updated Note (5/8/2017).. The link doesn't work anymore. The original website is gone.***
As you can tell, I'm not quite done with it, the post, and my doll house haunted house. ... I'll finish it up next Halloween, but I wanted to at least post this. I painted the house black, and took off the trim and painted parts purple and other parts green. I didn't get a chance to seal it a clear, so the paint kinda scrapes off if you scratch it or knock into it.
Here's what it looked like before..
I dont' have a picture of it in black. I think my sister does. I'll have to save it for the updated post.
This is what I did on the wall about the couch. I have a bunch of Halloween signs, printouts, and pictures that I grouped together. I just realized this is the half way picture. We then found a package of vinyl crows and creepy tree branches to a put them all over the walls. Spooky!
This is a shot of the dining room. Yeah, I get it all tricked out for Halloween. It was like this for a month!
I found sheer black curtain panels at the local thrift store, and then a purple zebra striped curtain,that I cut into thirds,and sewed together on the short ends and made one big long strip of fabric to drap along the top. This is all held up with push pins. Loooks fabulous,but totally easy to just pull off the wall. (I strung the black sheer curtains on some twine and contected the twine to pushpins. That was the most difficult part).
Here's a shot of the table decorations.
I'll do a separate post about this skull in the picture frame later, but just wanted to put it here cause I love it so.
It's a picture frame from IKEA, that the glass broke out of, and I wasn't about to throw it away. I found a glitter styrofoam skull and using a knife, cut off the back part of the skull and hot glued it on to the paper backing that I painted a random red color. It's kinda wavy and not thick, so I'll be fixing that next Halloween.
Anyway.. There's lots of Halloween stuff to look forward to next year!. Lots of projects to finish and make better!.
Have a great night!
Hugs!
Caroline.
