Last night my family and I went on a walk around the neighborhood for a Pre-Halloween jaunt to check out some awesome Halloween decorations!!
These are all from one house! Rumor has it that someone in their family worked for Disney on the Haunted Mansion ride. It is seriously AH MAZzzing!!
There are so many vignettes to gaze upon! There is no way you can see it all in one visit!
This guy playing the organ is awersome!! As far as I could tell the organ pipes are made from pool noodles sprayed gold! The keyboard is made of wooden slates painted white and black…oh and he is mechanical and moves! With music and fog coming up from the back!
I think I counted 8 chandeliers that are fully working, an old clock, the amazing silver phonograph, tons and tons of skeletons all dressed for the occasion.
Here is one out for a stroll with her lovely skeleton dog in the carriage. See the painting on the wall…it is a scary dude that moves and watches you.
Just look up at the rood with the lighting and then the black and white fabric treatment below! There is a couple of graveyards with skeletons popping from behind, pumpkins that talk…there is even a movie screen with skeletons dancing!
We dressed up with crazy hats…I am wearing reindeer antlers…it is a dog costume LOL it kept falling off to the side so we were thugging it up. Do you love my littlest grandson peeking from out of the blanket?
How can I even begin to tell you how thrilled the grands were to see all of this?!!
I love this sign…Reservations…guests are dying to get in!!
Are you dying over this row boat coffin? He does actually row by the way!!
Here is a closeup of just one of the chandeliers…look at all the details! Oh and the door knocker!
You can watch a video from last year of the place in action
Here Karins KottageWelcome 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!

Wondering if you happen to know where this lovely display went this year? My kiddos are heart broken! �� It had become a family tradition! We LOVE it!
They've actually sold their decorations and stopped. I guess it was getting too much for them. The neighborhood is sad not to have it here anymore.
I believe they only set it up every other year.. and they will do a huge Christmas set up on the other year.. so this year it will be a Grinch Christmas 😊👍🏻
Oh my! I have to run up there! How amazing is this?
