Disturbing Decor for Halloween

No doubt, disturbing is “in” this Halloween.   But in a natural, earthy kind of way.  Martha Stewart calls the floral creation on the left a “deranged arrangement.”  I love the creepy simplicity of this snake wreath below on the right.

Halloween, Martha-Style


It’s October 1st, so you know what that means?  It means Halloween decorating!  With the days getting shorter and the temperature dropping, it just makes sense to start spooking the house up as I mourn the dying of Summer.

Over the last several years, my Halloween decorating has been inspired by two people:  Martha Stewart and Andrea Ferrell.   Both ladies enjoy Halloween decorating that leans towards the “natural macabre.”  Today I highlight Martha, I hope soon to highlight the lesser-known but equally fab Andrea Ferrell.

I’m so excited to try this bleeding candles trick!  Take some white candles, stick them in a bucket of sand, light a red candle, and let the wax drip down the white candles.  Genius.
