Moss, Mice, and Skeleton Bones Changed Our Family Room for Halloween

I added moss, mice, spiders, and skeleton bones to the family room for Halloween. The boys liked the changes, and I photographed the room with a warmer candlelight camera setting.

Moss changed the mantel

A Pottery Barn catalog gave me the idea of adding moss. It was a small change to the mantel that gave the arrangement a more Gothic, spooky look.

Mice, spiders, and bones on the coffee table

Small mice appeared around the room with spiders and skeleton bones. I bought the three rats from Pottery Barn using a $25 gift certificate that required a $50 purchase at the time.

A Halloween cloth on the dog bed

I put a cloth over Lucy’s dog bed as part of the decorating. She stayed clear of it, although she preferred a lap to the dog bed most of the time anyway.

The Halloween kitchen uses Dollar Tree skulls and spiders. Outside, witch hats on the planters carry the theme onto the porch.
