Halloween In Black and White

I know if you have visited my blog before you have seen a few pictures of my buffet.  It is really like another mantel in my living room that I change with the seasons.  Last year about this time was when I finished redoing my living room and I was so happy with the white pallet that the last thing I wanted to do was put orange in it.  So, I decorated the buffet black and white for Halloween.  I liked it more than I thought I would and this year have done the same thing. 



When it comes to decorating I have heard that "it is all in the details"  and I thing that proved true when I added these little mice to the top of my white pumpkin.  It gives it some whimsy.

These little glitter spiders are small details that add a lot.  You will see them scattered through out my Halloween decor.
The bottles in the picture below I found at the antique mall and glued some labels on that I printed off of the computer last year. 







This is a little felt wall hanging I picked up at the antique mall.  I just love it and it is the first black and white Halloween piece I purchased last year.

I hope all of you are enjoying this time of year.  I just love the changing of the leaves and the cooler temperatures.  Not to mention the anticipation of the coming Holiday Season.

    I love your black and white decor! I have some bottles that are just waiting to get "labeled" up.

    Also... great spiderweb on the window. I did something similar to that on the mirror over my sofa table, turned desk.

    I've noticed that white and black have become the trend for many who prefer a more subtle color palette. You've done a terrific job using that scheme for your decorations! Love the old bottles.

    Thanks for joining Time Travel Thursday. I hope to see you each week. Be sure to stop by tonight, and see yourself featured. ;)

    Blessings,
