HALLOWEEN TABLE DECOR 2015: A "Sweet Treat" Seance

This year's Halloween table decor design is simple and stylish with sweet treats to enjoy.  Take a look at the inspirational look I created . . .

I purchased nothing new and used what I had stored away (I'm so proud of myself, using self-restraint).  To be honest, I've been suffering from back pain and have been taking it easy lately.  But, I  still wanted to put a look together. 

I was inspired by this picture (I think I found on Pinterest).  

This beautiful floral design and it's colors is what inspired me to create my own look.  I love the deep red hues and pale pink combination.  Adding blues and purples adds to the haunting look for Halloween.  

So, okay, I lied . . . The only new item I did purchase, were the flowers (of course).

Gold taper candle (purchased at Anthropology last year)

This "Sweet Treat" Seance - calling to the Gods of petite, sweet treats.  You can create your own display, setting out your favorites.  Here I used dark chocolate thin mints, Milano slices (salted pretzel) and assorted Belgium chocolates.  I placed different size candle holders in black around the gold skull and tasty treats; calling it a "Sweet Treat" Seance.

Adding to the decor, a cinnamon and oil broom stick.  Smells so good for the holidays.

For cocktails, I purchased this Pumpkin Pie Cream Liqueur.  I some how have to finish this entire bottle before it goes bad.

These assorted Belgium Chocolate Pumpkins were purchased at Trader Joe.

 

Roses, carnations, hydrangeas, blue thistle and eucalyptus - just to name a few, were used to make this floral arrangement.

An evening look . . .

 

There still some time to whip up a Halloween display for your home!  I hope I've inspired you to create a look of your own.

OUR EASTER TABLESCAPE

My color theme this Easter was inspired by the love of all the pastel colors out this season; in particular, the color blush.  Call it my secret garden theme (unfortunately, indoors).  I wanted to bring a garden theme indoors and make it inviting and serene.  If you're sitting at my table, you'll be captured by the pink blushes, creams, crisp whites and gold accents.  Let's discuss the details:

Let's start with the pink, polka dot napkins (found at HomeGoods).  It's the perfect soft blush color!  I decorated the napkin with pom poms, pink ribbon, and white and gold cross ribbon (all found at Jo Ann's Fabric).  The garden themed fabric was also purchased from Jo Ann's.  I searched and searched for a tablecloth or runner and couldn't find the right pink.  After searching through Jo Ann's, I found this beautiful fabric with soft colored, flowered petals and light blue dots.  I added this as a layer to my white tablecloth.  The gold flatware was purchased from One Kings Lane.

  

The small salad plates were found at Marshalls and the Hue Blush dinner plates were purchased at Crate and Barrel (on sale!)

   

Ceramic bunny (Crate and Barrel); Egg dish (Pottery Barn)

Ceramic Bunnies purchased at Williams Sonoma last year (after Easter sale). Ribbons added myself

 

Flower arrangement made by yours truly . . . flowers from Trader Joe. 
They have the best flower selections and reasonably priced.

    

My DIY egg cup project (inspired by a design from Martha Stewart). 
 "Hi Martha, do you like my look?"

I really enjoyed putting this look together.  Hope you enjoyed the tour and I've inspired you to create a look of your own.

I'll end by wishing you and your family a Happy Easter!
