Halloween tidings

Halloween is right around the corner, kicking off the start of the back-to-back holiday season.  Myself, I’ve always been fond of Halloween.  We’re a Peanuts-loving household, and no Halloween is complete without a viewing of It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown, with the ambient lighting of a jack-o’-lantern and a selection of trick-or-treat candies.  Halloween is a big holiday for me – my mom was a consummate designer of costumes and spooky decorations, and one of the great joys of my life was always helping my daughter put together her Halloween costumes.  It’s an opportunity for us all to embrace our inner creativity and showcase our wildest notions and designs – and get a little spooky, if we’re so inclined.

Since my next blog post would fall right smack on the holiday itself, I’ll be taking a day off to enjoy some homemade pumpkin cookies and some Jack-o-lantern carving.  Our neighborhood has its fair share of trick-or-treaters, and I expect our doorbell will be ringing from dusk onward.  I just wanted to drop a letter into your inbox to wish you good holiday tidings!

Part of our Halloween tradition includes decorating our home in the spirit of the season.  Your home should be versatile in that way – when it’s time to get festive, don’t be afraid to toss in some timely extra decor to match your living space to the holiday!  A few painted pumpkins, a ghost or two in the window, and your home can be tasteful and appropriately haunting.  Your home should always match your needs, even if those needs are just having a little extra space to put up your favorite Halloween candles.

And with the long holiday season upon us, there’s no better time to start considering your space more thoughtfully.  Interested in reworking your home, making it yours?  Drop me a line – I’m always here to chat.

That’s all from me, folks.  Happy Halloween!
