Spooky Halloween Dining Room, Part 2, 2016

Today, I will be sharing how the rest of my Dining Room looks decorated for Halloween...

If you missed Part 1......
 Please click HERE

We last left off here......
.
I changed out the vintage tea cups that I usually have on this shelf......
With silver ones to go with my black, white and silver Halloween color scheme for the Dining Room......
I placed a skeleton couple inside of each cup!!
 Over in the corner, by the Kitchen.........
On the shelf next to the Curio.......
A Halloween plate, a spider web candle holder and a black skull......
On top of the Curio are 2 pumpkins........
One that I painted a spooky face on and topped off with a witch's hat ......
And the other one, I embellished, used stickers to spell out "Boo" and added a black owl.......
I also added a bow made out of 2 different Halloween ribbons.......
Hanging over by my "fake" window is a Halloween tussie mussie.......
To the side of the Curio.......
On a marble topped stand......
Is a Funeral Basket that I change the floral arrangement in for every Holiday........
But I think it really looks good for Halloween!!
I wrapped the handle with a black rose garland that has skulls on it and also lights up!!
I used black and white flowers and Autumn leaves in the arrangement inside of the basket along with a LED lighted branch......
On the table is a black spider web place mat, a silver mercury glass pumpkin, a skull, a bat wing candle holder with a black rose inside of it and a ghost votive holder.
This is an antique Funeral Card that was gifted to me by a friend......
Joe bought the mercury glass pumpkin at Burlington for $2.00 last year on Clearance. I  have 2 of these pretty pumpkins.......
On the floor by the stand is a pumpkin that I embellished......
Next to the Curio......
I draped a black spider web runner over my Victorian Melodion......
2 silver mercury glass owls that were bought at J.C. Penney's on Clearance after Christmas a few years ago.......
A black skull is glued to a wood candle stick that I painted silver and topped with a witch's hat that was a gift......
A grave stone and a pumpkin from Dollar Tree.......
The other owl......
"Happy Hauntings"
In a previous post, I showed you my Halloween Tree and Village.......
The tussie mussie that I made hanging in the corner above the Tree......
And the skeleton couple on the shelf on the side of the Tree.....
Click HERE if you missed that post!
On the floor by the Buffet.......
2 more pumpkins that I embellished, a black owl and a spider......

Next to the Buffet ........
On an old Home Interiors shelf above the Curio , is another pumpkin that I embellished.....

On top of the Curio......
A spooky pumpkin man that was gifted to me.....
"Creepy" was bought at Michael's......
The black house was bought at Target several years ago and I added silver glitter, ghosts and a pumpkin trim.....
The candles in the candelabra were bought at the Dollar Tree.......

On the floor by the Curio.......
A cute Halloween Bearington Bear, another embellished pumpkin and a rat.......
One more embellished pumpkin and a silver mercury glass pumpkin that I bought one year on Clearance in Big Lot's.......
I decorated the Chandy a bit.......
I hung silver leaf ,pine cone and owl ornaments from it......
There is a bat hanging in the center......
I also added silver and black beaded garland that I bought at Target after Christmas one year.....
Before I show you the top of the hutch, I wanted you to see the runner that I used......
I bought 2 of those on Clearance at Big Lot's one year for a little over a Dollar a piece!!

The other one is on the Buffet......

On top of the Hutch.........
These pumpkin people votive candle holders were made by Yankee Candle ......
     Joe used his Comp Points from the Casino to buy them for me a few years back.....

The tombstones are candy boxes bought at Dollar Tree along with the crows......
The ceramic house was gifted to me by Joe for our first Halloween that we were married......
It was made by a lady that he used to work with who did ceramics.......That was 38 years ago!!
Another pumpkin guy!!

And another Halloween tussie mussie that I made......
Over on the vintage window that I use as a divider between the Dining Room and Living Room......
I like to hang decorations on it!!
Halloween ornaments bought at Michael's and a Halloween ghost screen door that I made.....
And on the floor in the corner by the Hutch.....
More embellished pumpkins and another Rat.......

And that completes my Tour of my Spooky Halloween Dining Room!!

In future posts, I will be showing you my other house decorated for Halloween......
 A trip to one of my favorite Decor stores, Country Folk........
My last Garden post for the Season.......
And my final post in my Series on Retirement, Adjusting to Early Retirement
You can see that Joe is doing so just fine!!

And an Evening Tour of our house decorated for Fall and Halloween..........

So I hope you will come by and visit  again!!

  3. I do love the black and silver combo you have going. Love how you made the face on the pumpkin and added the hat!! Just the last couple of years I have started liking the look of mercury glass, I keep seeing it more and more in the stores! The pumpkin guy in the card is too cute!
