Living in the Rocky Mountains, I have come to count on the change of seasons. Just when I get tired of the unbearable heat of summer or the dreary cold of winter, I get the blessing of Spring or Autumn. No matter what season is coming into bloom, it’s a cue for me to refresh my home decor. 

You see, “refresh” means to give new strength, to give energy, or to reinvigorate. This is exactly why I love the four seasons I experience living in the Rockies. Each new season is a time to refresh and renew. 

As this new Autumn season rolled around, I started to feel the itch to update my Halloween decor. I decided to check out the amazing Halloween collection at JCPenney and boy did I have a hard time. Yes! I couldn’t decide what to get! It took some time and back and forth decision making, but I picked out some of my favorite items that I am excited to show you them today! 

How to decorate your Halloween Front Entry:

 

First- Gather all of your Halloween decor from JCPenney, your one-stop Halloween decor shop. Then, lay all your things out on the floor or on a nearby table to see how they look and rearrange them until you are happy!

Second- Place your largest items that take up the most space on the shelves first. I like to create visual triangles when I’m decorating as I place the decor items. 

Third- Now on to the medium-sized objects! Professional tip: make groupings with your decor pieces. For example, you can see I have a wooden tray with pumpkin and basket bin to create a grouping of 3 items of varying sizes.

Fourth- Take a step back and look at your set-up.  Balance your items and move them around if you’d like. Add tall pieces, like the candlesticks, in the back.

Fifth- Finally, add hanging buntings or garlands, like this beaded wood garland and Halloween pom-pom garland. Don’t miss the spooky wooden garland on the top shelf.
