I knew if I could find the right art for it, it would be the perfect focal point on the mantle for my Halloween vision. A few weeks ago, I ran into Goodwill and saw this huge framed piece of art in the corner–ugly and outdated, of course, but way cheap! So, back to that little Gryffindor library inspiration. As I once said–perhaps one of my more eloquent quotes: We draw the line at blood and chainsaws. Halloween can get a little tacky, but I love Halloween, my kids love Halloween, so we go all in. I try to do this as tastefully as possible. We throw a big kids’ Halloween party every year, so we’ve invested in some fun decorations that I like to get good use of, so I blend Halloween and fall decorations until after Halloween. Which brings me to this very important seasonal dilemma: Come October, do you decorate for fall or do you decorate for Halloween? I have a system (oh God, here she goes with one of her “ systems”): I decorate for Falloween. I tucked it away for Halloween inspiration later this year. Elarlier this summer, we stayed at a beautiful old resort on the southeast end of Mackinac Island where, late one night, we ventured through narrow hallways and creaky staircases to discover a ballroom that looked straight out of the game of Clue, complete with an ornate fireplace and huddle of couches in front of it, definitely something where Harry, Ron and Hermione would have gathered to conspire in the Gryffindor wing.
