Do you have a favourite Halloween candy? Are you unwavering in your choice? Not only is it a sweet treat there is also a lot of nostalgia behind Halloween candy, especially considering how little it's changed through the years. Now there are many blogs out there talking about what your favourite Halloween candy says about your personality so we thought we'd have some fun and take a different route by helping you decipher your interior style according to your favourite Halloween candy.

DIY Floating Candles Instructions
Step 1: Gather your supplies, you will need; toilet paper rolls, battery-powered tea candles, fishing line, hot glue, white paint, scissors and scotch tape.
Step 2: Start by edging the top of the toilet paper rolls with hot glue and make some large drips.
Step 3: Once cooled, paint the entire toilet paper roll white.
Step 4: Place two-way tape around the tea-candle and press it into the top of the toilet paper roll (paint the top white if it's not white).
Step 5: Tape a piece of fishing line to the candle and hang it from the ceiling. Voila.



Hope you have a Happy Halloween :)

Are you on the hunt for some DIY fall decorating ideas? Well, I've joined up with two other bloggers to share some simple and modern DIY fall projects for your front door. After you're done checking out my DIY Fall Wreath below be sure to hop on over to Kate from Emmett's ABC's and Erica from Anna Georgianna to check out how they're making their front door fall ready.


I bought these plastic pumpkins from the dollar store and spray painted them various shades of black and grey. I then tied some yarn onto a dream catch ring using the technique from my DIY Yarn Wall Art post and cut the yarn in a straight line. Finally, I used the glue gun to adhere the pumpkins to the ring. It's a pretty simple and small DIY but it looks super cute on the door and will probably last me until Halloween.





And if you'd like to check out more modern fall (non-orange) decor check out how I decorated my dining table for fall.

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Fall! If you are coming here from Summar's Cozy Home Chronicles blog, I hope you are enjoying the #FallingintoAutumn blog hop so far. Scroll down to see my unique take on fall decor.


Are you like me and not really into the traditional colours of Fall decor? Are you always on the lookout for more modern autumn decor - less orange more neutral? Don't get me wrong, I love the Fall for the crisp air, changing leaves, turkey etc but I'm just not into orange so I struggle to get festive each year.

This year I was invited to join a few other bloggers in the #FallingintoAutumn Blog Hop. I decided to do something different and decorate in black, white and faux fur. I guess this isn't too different given I'm usually working with at least one of these. If you caught my Instastories earlier this week you may have caught a glimpse of my set up, if not, be warned, it's not your traditional fall decor.
 
When you're finished checking out my space below be sure to hop on over to the next featured blogger Areeba at Mint Candy Designs.


My look consists of some simple and inexpensive fall table decorations you can find around your home. I used some old black fabric for the napkins, a faux fur rug from my sons room (Homesense), some gold cutlery (also from Homesense) and some white gourds (obviously something had to say fall). I picked up some eucalyptus branches and created this great DIY wall hanging - DIY instructions coming to the blog tomorrow.

Happy Halloween! Sharing some of our Halloween decor and costumes on the blog today.

My son and I decorated our front door for the Masonite Doors #knockifyourdare contest. We had a lot of fun putting it together while the baby napped. We cut out a whole bunch of bats and used two-way tape to adhere them to the wall. Our favourite part is the small "boo" on the door.

And of course, here is our family costume. My husband and I dressed up as archeologists at Jurassic park. The hats are a bit off but you get the gist lol (my oldest keeps calling us cowboys haha).

Now that it's October it's time to start thinking of Halloween costumes. I know it was only last year but I miss baby costumes. They are the cutest thing ever - am I right!? They're even cuter coupled with a well thought out family costume. I think the best way to make a parent baby costume is to find the cutest baby costume and work from there. And, if your husband is anything like mine, you have the additional hurdle to find an easy no nonsense costume that he'll actually wear (my husband isn't a huge fan of getting dressed up at least not now at this age and not without beer pong). With that in mind, I put together a list of 6 unique parent baby costume ideas that are easy for the parents and super cute! PS - two of them may be mine lol

2. Lion Tamers and Baby Lion. Baby Lion Cub Costume Found here.

3. Lobster Dinner (chefs with baby lobster). Baby Lobster Costume found here.

4. Lions, Tigers and Bears - Oh My! Baby Lion and Baby Tiger costumes found here.

5. Star Wars with Baby ewoks. Baby ewok costumes found here.

6. Amazing Race Contestants with Baby Travelocity Gnome. Baby Gnome Costume found here.

As mentioned, here is a mini-Halloween home tour. Lots of purple stripes and mini-pumpkins.

I am a huge fan of Halloween in general and more specifically family costumes. For my youngests first Halloween we decided to dress him up like a little circus lion and my husband and I dressed up as lion tamers (which seems fitting now that we have two boys). I purchased the baby lion cub costume online (links to other sizing below) and I made this cool circus wagon to take the costume to the next level ;) You can find the DIY instructions below.
