Fall Accents in the Living room

For someone who loves Halloween as much as I do, I admit, I was pretty lame this year in terms of decorating for my high holiday. I think I made up for it with the costume I put together for the New Orleans Witches Ball:

And here’s the full length:

I look pretty good with long dark hair, huh?

And here’s the whole dark minion gang:

Here's the East Coast Chapter of the Dark Minions. Pretty swank group of ghouls don't cha think?

Anyway, back to decorating… So on our walk yesterday, I was inspired by the strangely gorgeous colors of the fallen oak leaves. They were rusty brown on the top, but if you turned them over, you found a dusky purple that was oh so beautiful. Here’s what they look like styled with my white pumpkin in the front entry table.

The mini pumpkins found a new home on the cocktail tables in front of the sofa. I know its not much style wise, but less than a $2.00 investment, they’re a small decoration, that makes a colorful impact
