About this
A photo-tour post on Between Naps on the Porch sharing a friend's visit to a Texas home lavishly decorated for Halloween. It walks readers through the exterior, entry, mantel, kitchen and treat displays, pointing out whimsical vignettes, animated props and the home's beautiful chandeliers. A commenter also recounts the private, theatrical Halloween tour her group was treated to, complete with costumes, a tractor ride and dry ice fog.
The plan
- Get the homeowner's permission before photographing and sharing her decorations (Teresa asked Ann, who graciously agreed)
- Invite a group for a private Halloween tour of the decorated home
- Greet tour guests in costume and provide treats and drinks
Decoration ideas
- Scary witch figure waiting just inside the entry
- Decorated mantel featuring a pair of skeleton musicians that actually play/strum a tune
- Prominent beautiful chandeliers used as decorative focal points throughout the home
- Spooky fun Halloween vignettes placed in different areas of the kitchen
- Halloween sign in the kitchen reading 'Eat at your own risk'
- Halloween decorations carried out onto the screened porch in back, which also has double pools and a slide
- Upstairs window view looking out toward a bridge in the distance
- Dry ice fog filling the interior of the home
Food & drink
- Mummy cookies
- Assorted treats and goodies set out for tour-goers
- Mimosas sipped by guests during the outdoor portion of the tour
Activities
