Our Haunted Halloween Home Tour continues today in the dining room! Dare to dine with us?
In past years I’ve gone for an elegantly spooky look in the dining room. Since this is now our only dine-in space, I wanted it to be more happy spooky. :-) I change it every year, but reuse a lot of the same elements. In fact, I didn’t buy anything new for Halloween this year outside of two mums.
If you think about a table in layers, start from the bottom and work your way up. I started with a black spiderweb tablecloth from Target. I found the chalkboard tombstones at Target a couple of years ago and use a chalk marker to write on them. I’ve used them on a buffet and as place cards. They are versatile!
All of the china and silver are things we use regularly. I always get asked about the plates – Mother gave them to me years and years ago. They are Spode. The salad plates were collected over the years from different places – Pottery Barn and Homegoods, if I recall. The candlesticks were all from our wedding china.
The two cachepots were from Pottery Barn a few years ago. I used them for this table since they had a distressed look. With the candlesticks and flowers in place, I added all of my skeleton hands (Target).
Over on the sideboard I have a cauldron of eyeballs. They are from Grandin Road (I’ve had mine a few years but they still carry them) and the cauldron was from Williams Sonoma last year. It is food safe, which I like. It can be used for punch, soup or even just passing out candy on the big night.
In the new built in china cabinet I simply added old dollar store rats from my collection!
Since we dine here daily, I have taken off all of the place settings and place cards. I scrunched the lace table cloth up as a runner and left the candles, flowers and skeletons down the center. We live here!
Happy Halloween, y’all! Thanks for stopping by.
