I LOVE Halloween!

We are having our annual Halloween party this coming Saturday and so I started going hardcore on the decorating this week! I'm not showing everything just yet but I did want to give a little sneak peek. Yes, the picture was taken with my iTouch so the quality isn't great but I still love it! I told my DH that my inspiration for my decorating is the Haunted Mansion; scary yet classy. I'm not a fan of gore but I don't want super happy, cheesey decorations, either. I do have my Disney stuff but that stuff usually decorates my kitchen, I keep the living room decor in my "Haunted Mansion" vision.

What is your Halloween decorating style? Go to my blog's facebook page and post some pics of what you've got going on this year!
