SPOOKtacular Facade {Nightfall: Halloween 2013}

 

One of the greatest things about the Halloween decor is how it looks at nightfall. Days are getting shorter; therefore, lights come on a little earlier now.

Flicker flame lights twinkle over the door and on the black grapevine wreath on the 2nd floor balcony.

Mini orange lights fill the bushes that are planted in the front garden.

More flicker flame lights fill the terracotta pumpkin in the garden.

I even replaced the regular bulb with a flicker one on the porch lights.

Beware! Come on in if you dare.

Battery-powered candles and lights fill votive cups and beakers on the parlor mantle.

More battery-powered candles light votives in the secretary. A flicker flame light replaces a regular clear bulb in the lamp.

In the stair parlor, more faux candles complete the boo-tiful vignette.

I really love how the house looks at nightfall. I hope you do too.

  5. I love seeing your Halloween display, since no one decorates much in our neighborhood. All our little goblins have grown up and moved away. :(

  7. Love, love, love it! It definitely is spooktacular. I really think you should put a book together of your house decorations through all the seasons. I think that would be so cool. Have a great day! xoxo

  14. Boo- you know how I found you. There's this crazy blonde woman who blogs a lot and just happened to mention your name on her post today. Love the halloween decor, one of my favorite things to do. I started back lighting the outside things with white lights this year and they stand out so much more. You can read the grave stones and the creepy guys are lit from under their fabric. They kind of look like skeleton monks with attitude. Love your blog.

  15. Ron, I just love your house but you have outdone yourself. Even the mini orange lights in the garden reminded me of "The Beating Heart". Spoooooky!
