Halloween Decor [interior Design]

This year I stepped up the Halloween decorating (which wasn't hard to do since this is all I was working with last year).  I found these 3D Martha Stewart Bats at Michael's and put them in the front entry. When you come in the front door it looks like they are flying at you. Love them.

Then I stuck with the "C" because it just lives on the mantel and it gives good height. I added a spider web from Meijer and a skeleton print. The gold plastic skull was from KROGER for only $5. It started out a grey and black but I put a can of gold spray paint to it.

Which leads me to this gold ceramic skull from ZGallerie. He was $14.95 plus shipping. Can I just say they took a little piece of me when ZGallerie left my local mall? Anyway, this came before my Kroger skull find. Who doesn't tell me they have the perfect skulls at Kroger for cheap?!? The spiders returned from last year and the pumpkins are the real deal. The flowers and moss ribbon are from Michael's as well. I couldn't find cool purple flowers at the local florist and I'm a huge fan of real flowers - boo ;)

So how did I do?

A New York State of Mind [interior Design]

The Big Apple is a City that never ceases to inspire. A couple hot spots caught my eye for good creative interior design. The first was Gold Bar in Little Italy. The seating is plush, dark, and comfortable so it only makes sense that the walls are covered in gold skulls ;)

Beautiful crystal chandeliers with a dash of antiquely strange art and a contemporary look create the hip atmosphere. It's a small lounge with a lot of impact. Great place to relax, hear some good music, and get inspired to think outside the box.

Next stop was Beauty & Essex on the Lower East Side. When I heard that they serve pink champagne in the bathroom I knew it was a place for me even though I'm not really a pink kinda girl. The entry is disguised as a pawn shop - very New York

That door in the back of the "shop" leads to the club/restaurant and it is beautiful

The bathrooms were GORG with snakeskin wallcovering that looked like lace on the wall and had a nice little bartender ready with the pink champagne ready for you.

both a must see!
