Since moving from South Africa into our first home together in San Diego last year, I've had a lot of fun going ALL OUT during the holidays. As you may or may not already know, my partner, Meyer, is South African (where Halloween isn't a tradition) and I grew up in California (where Halloween is a pretty big deal), so this time of year is especially fun for me.
Growing up, my mom decked out the house with Halloween decor, so I may have taken a note or two from her and am thrilled to keep the tradition alive.
As soon as September comes around, I love to decorate my front porch with cozy fall décor. And then, as we began to shift toward October, it's ON. We're talking about a full pet cemetery, a spooky tree, a projector playing creepy videos onto our curtains, and lots of giant spiders.
While we're being very intentional and conscious about the decor we are adding to our arsenal, this year we went even bigger...and better!
I like to think I run in two modes: summer in Europe or holiday mode — and this time around... we went full pumpkin spice latte. ;)
My complete guide to how to spookify your house for Halloween (including each and every decorative item and how everything is set up) is live now!
