Put a bird on it.

Actually, 11 crows on it.  “It” being our banister.  We are slowly outfitting our house in Halloween decor (Spider McCreeperson seen here).  The cute, crafty “Boo!” decor just doesn’t look right in our house–so we are going more more sleek and spooky which is why these dollar-store-crows are pretty perfect.  
Shelling out a buck a piece for each bird seemed like quite the steal and when I lined them up our banister in natural stances and groupings, I decided I would have paid double!  We love ’em, but the banister definitely needs some spider webbing to up the spook factor.  We are going for freaky birds, not cute birds.

The frazzled feathers definitely help their Halloween cause.  And, hey, even if all of our other Halloween decorations that we are slowly getting up (mostly because we want them to still be in tact for our party–ahem…Greta) are duds–at least we put birds on it, right?

Oh yeah.  We’re sooooo set.

A reader recently asked me if I’m starting to fully embrace traditional style and whether we still consider our house to be a “modern Colonial” and why. It was a really great question and so timely — I had really just been thinking about my approach to this home and how my style has changed […]
