It's Monday and I'm completely exhausted from a fun and too expensive weekend going out with my friends. Now it's back to reality but the good news is now that we've hit October reality gets more fun for the next couple months.
October kicks off the holiday season in my book, it's full of delicious food, cozy nights at home and lots of time spent with family and friends. I like to go full force into each holiday and I've already started on Halloween. First up - get your place decorated!
I definitely lean towards a more Pottery Barn-ish, less scary version of Halloween decorations and due to budget constraints they must be done in DIY style. Below are some of the best ways to add a little Halloween cheer to your home without spending much money.

The same idea works with votive candles too.
Keep things simple by filling an apothecary jar with Halloween trinkets.
How pretty are these doily "webs"? Add to a frame and throw in a spider for good measure
Spray paint some twigs black, and add some black tulle
for a super easy and creepy centerpiece

One trick I definitely plan on trying this year - paint a pumpkin
white and then write on it with black sharpie. So pretty!
