Halloween Mantle Decorations

HALLOWEEN MANTLE DECORATION IDEAS

Last night I was puttering around the house trying to figure out how to decorate my mantle for Fall/Halloween…(which I normally don’t do) but this year I have just felt a desire to create something fun and frivolous. Here is my mantle with my cute little Halloween man (I bought him at TJ Maxx for $7.99), a cute little pumpkin (I bought at Tuesday Morning for $5.99) sitting atop of a cake platter, Some really cool bottle brush trees (bought at a cute boutique one for $5.99 and one for $7.99) that are covered in orange glitter, And some fall looking garland wrapped around all of it. OH and helloooo how can I forget my adorable triangular Halloween sign that I just bought for $8.00!! Yeah I was so excited because it is just so cute.

Then I couldn’t stop at the mantle…I proceeded to decorate my hallway table…I recently went searching all over creation for a glass dome and I finally found one at Michael’s for $15.99 and that was a great deal because some of the others I found were $49.00 so I was pretty happy.


I love the the big glass domes….you can use them anytime of the year as you put different things under them to highlight the time of year. Birds nests for spring, pumpkins for fall, Christmas ornament or a small nativity set…the options are endless.

Welcome to Karins Kottage! There is always something fun going on! You would think after becoming an empty nester couple that our nest would be very quiet and empty but our Kottage nest is usually more full than what we started out with! You might find me hosting a birthday party or graduation party and a baby shower on the same weekend or a big outdoor get together with 25 of our friends and family in the backyard or maybe I might be in the kitchen trying out a new recipe for my hubby and I to grill on the BBQ for a quiet night for the two of us. I am passionate about entertaining and setting a beautiful table! I may or may not have an addiction to cloth napkins and fun salad plates oh and goblets too! I think I will always have a home decorating DIY project in the works as long as my hubby is on board with me haha. We have painted A LOT in the 6 homes we have owned in the 35 years that we have been married as well as re-done multiple pieces of furniture, added wall and ceiling treatments, replaced lights, bathroom fixtures and even tiled floors! I have sewn what seems like a million window treatments for our home as well as for family, made slipcovers, and duvets and even a formal dress or two!
