Happy Halloween!
Ernie the beagle and I took a walk around the ‘hood’ and snapped pics of some of our favorites . . .
 |
| I love this webbed fence that our contractor neighbor constructed. Very original. |
 |
| This neighbor always displays picture-perfect outdoor decor. |
 |

| Ernie growled at this in full daylight. I can only imagine the scare factor at night. |
 |
| This was definitely a two-person job … |
 |
| … and I’m “digging” this skeleton vignette out front. |
 |
| I want that giant spiderweb and spiders. |
 |
| This thing is like a train wreck — weird and creepy and I can’t stop staring. |
 |
| This house was the first to get all decked out. |
 |
| I’m loving these spider pumpkins. |
 |
| My neighbor next door always jump starts my decorating … |
 |
| … and the neighbor across the street ups the ante … |
 |
| … she’s definitely going for that spooky vibe … |
 |
| … and seems to add more layers and details every year. |
I’ll bring this post to a close with some shots of my Halloween house:
 |
|
| I snapped this before adding the bats around the door … |
 |
| I added some dollar store skeletons to my DIY drop cloth wreath. |
 |
| The mums no longer look so healthy … I definitely have a black thumb. |
And yes, the witch is “out” — and about — snapping pics for the blog …
Hi there! My name is Linda and I’m a Jersey-born-and-bred Midwestern transplant who lives in Chicago with my husband and two children. We've lived in our home since 1995 and over the years our style has changed and evolved. I wouldn't call my home a work-in-progress -- more like a rework-in-progress as I refresh and remodel things around here ... one room at a time.
Your neighborhood really knows how to go all out for Halloween!
