More cool, cute, and spooky Halloween ideas

 Such a simple and great idea!! Spray paint a wreath and some rubber snakes and you have a fabulous creepy wreath.  Instructions to make the wriggling snake wreath.

 A cute little Halloween porch

Love these simple but dramatic raven  decorations. The perches are just cardboard tubes painted black, and you can purchase some inexpensive chain at a hardware store.  Here are instructions.

I LOVE these chicken wire yard ghosts!  So creepy.

As a little kid, I loved it when people set up little haunted houses in their garages.  Of course when you have a garage as nice as this, or as a Garaga garage door,  a large grimacing face, or spooky scene looks festive.

One of my favorite ideas - spooky silhouettes in your windows. Instructions here.



And these aren't necessarily decorations, but they make me smile:

Don't miss this house tour - a glamorous beach cottage that still manages to be laid back

This beach home, located on Bald Head Island, belongs to interior designer Lisa Sherry.

It's a dream of mine to one day have a beach home.  I imagine there is a special kind of insurance for vacation properties, so if you plan on having a vacation home one day, be sure to look into it, or you can secure your home with Privilege building and contents insurance.*

Lisa's home is a three-bedroom with a screened-in wraparound porch. Let's start with the best part, shall we?  The wraparound porch

How great would it be to nap on this divan?

I would live on that porch.  I love the dining table and chairs.

I can't decide if I like the cluster of paper lanterns...what do you think?

 The '70's home was one of the first built on the island.  Lisa freshened it up by tearing down some walls and painting almost everything white.

    I think the guest bedroom, with the sheers, is my favorite.
