Halloween Tree and Bar Cart 2019



Hello all!

This year I was inspired by one of my favorite instagrammers, @ohyeahem, to create a Halloween tree! Instead of black I chose a silver tinsel tree so it could be re-purposed for Christmas.

I found four boxes of gorgeous reproduction Halloween Shiny Brites at HomeGoods, and that was the moment I knew I needed the tree! Other than those new boxes, I decked out the tree with Halloween items I already owned, such as wire spiders and rats, German glitter pumpkins, and handmade Halloween mice found years ago at an arts festival.

I wrapped a Halloween blanket around the base and tucked witch boots safely under. A sill sitter black cat and a spooky sign completed the scene!






I also really loved my Halloween bar cart this year! I bought this bar cart when we were still living in our apartment, and didn't quite have the right space to truly deck this out for holidays and make it more than a utilitarian piece of furniture. I love that in the new house my bar cart has space to shine!

I hope you love this Halloween tree and bar cart as much as I do! Both are currently being decked out for Christmas! Stay tuned!

With all my love, Katie

Halloween Party 2019


Hello All!

I'm coming at you with a bit of a late post, but I couldn't keep these photos to myself! It's always been a dream of mine to host a Halloween party, and this year we did! Our new open concept house is a truly excellent space for hosting.

What I'm sharing here is photos of my Halloween party food spread. These pictures were taken with lots of light, but my party's lighting was dark and moody! We lit the room with lots of candles, and quite a few rotating bulbs projecting bats and spiders all over our party! We served spooky food, had a costume contest, and created a custom Halloween themed deck of Monikers, our favorite party game!
