Today I'm mashing up both of my Style Spotters series; For the Love of Color meets From My Home to Yours! Last week on my blog, I created a stylish fall mantel. I challenged myself to create something that was spooky and fitting for Halloween while still stylish and chic. It was also important that my festive spooky decor matched the rest of my space as well. Thus was born this Halloween mantel.
When I'm styling a space, one of the things that I always think of first is the color scheme. I think that is why color is such a big part of what I do. For this particular vignette, black was an important element. Paired with just a few of the right accessories, black is a perfect color to create a haunted look. I also love that black is a neutral color. While a lot of these items take on a spooky look when grouped together, alone they can be really dynamic pieces for your everyday decor.

Above are a few of my favorite black furnishings and accessories perfect for the season or anytime of the year.
Happy Haunting!

Hello! My name is Carrie – I'm the founder of lifestyle and DIY blog, Dream Green DIY. While there, you'll find me up to my elbows in Mod Podge, spray paint and the like just about any day of the week. Like many of you, I am constantly evaluating the little things that inspire me on a daily basis. Can I make that? Is there a more affordable way to achieve a high-end look? And how can I use what I already have to bring a little flair into my everyday?
Case in point, today's simple Halloween DIY project. With the holiday weekend fast approaching, I've been brainstorming party-ready ideas that won't break the bank. I doubt I'm the only one who has to keep to a strict budget this time of year, what with the gift-giving season just around the corner. So you can imagine how satisfied I was when my DIY Halloween Swizzle Sticks ended up costing less than $10. See below for instructions on how to make your own!
- Plastic swizzle sticks (I pulled out the orange ones for this project)
- Black pom-poms
- Craft glue
- First, grab a pom-pom and gently pull apart the fibers until you see the round center. Squeeze a bit of the craft glue inside.
- Next, pick out one of the orange swizzle sticks and put another dot of glue on the end.
- Push the end of the swizzle stick into the middle of the pom-pom, holding it in place until it doesn't move when you gently let go. Set aside to dry for a couple of hours before handling any further.
- Repeat until you have the amount of swizzle sticks desired.
This weekend project only requires about 30 minutes of hands on time, which, if you're anything like me, is a blessing what with multiple priorities taking up any given hour. The other great thing about these fluffy drink accessories? They can be repurposed for just about any holiday. Try red and green for Christmas, blue and crystal clear for the New Year and any other combination for life's little celebrations in between.
See the bonus recipe below for those tasty green concoctions. It's nearly impossible to go wrong with this smooth, creamy, minty cocktail (with just a hint of rich chocolaty flavor!) come bash time.
Halloween Mintini
- Godiva
- Kahlua
- Bailey's
- Creme de menthe
- Milk
- Green food coloring
Combine all to taste, add about 4 drops of the food coloring and pour into cocktail glasses. Pop in a DIY swizzle stick at the rim, and serve.
Cheers! -Carrie, Dream Green DIY

Trend: The no-carve pumpkin. I have great memories of carving pumpkins as a kiddo, but sometimes it's just easier (and maybe more fun) to go the no-carve pumpkin route. Need some inspiration to get you started?

Trend: the no-carve pumpkin. Skip the mess and make a Yarn Jack o' Lantern Face! I found this idea in the Better Homes and Gardens archives and I needed to give it a try and show all of you how to make this for yourself (little Jack 'o Lantern face templates included).
- 1 pumpkin (real or foam, your choice)
- pack of 100 gold pin heads
- black acrylic yarn
- painter's tape
- Jack 'o Lantern Face Templates (One, Two, Three, Four)
- Print out your Jack 'o Lantern Face Templates. Pick out the face size you'd like and cut it out.
- Use little folded painter's tape squares to arrange and set up the mouth, nose, and eyes.
- Grab your pins and push them into the pumpkin near all the points + corners of the Jack 'o Lantern face. Don't push them ALL the way down to the pumpkin skin, keep the pin heads up about 1/4 inch. Next, place pins along some of the main "pumpkin lines" to create the stripey portion of this pumpkin.
- Pick a pin to start with, and tie a double knot onto it. Push the pin all the way into the pumpkin to secure the yarn. Follow the shape of the face, eyes, and mouth and add the stripey lines (wrapping the yarn twice around each pin as you go, then pushing them into the pumpkin to secure). Tie knots along other pins if you need to stop the yarn and start on a new point.
You're done! Since yarn doesn't do too well outside, I recommend keeping this Jack 'o Lantern out of the rain. I used a real pumpkin, but if you use a foam pumpkin you will have this guy to decorate your home next year!

I absolutely loved this "Welcome" pumpkin I found on the BHG site. I know that painting anything freehand on pumpkins (especially words) can be pretty darn difficult. That's why I've drawn and created a little printable for all of you to enjoy and use on your own pumpkins! See? I love how it turned out.
It's easy-ish (the hard part is cutting it out). How-to:
- Print and cut out the "welcome" free printable.
- You can now choose if you'd like to use part of your cutout as a stencil, OR you can use the actual "Welcome" word and Mod Podge it on to your pumpkin. I went the Mod Podge route (followed by a quick sealant spray to keep it from coming off in the rain).
- If you're painting on the "Welcome": using some black (or whatever color you'd like) acrylic paint to stencil on the word.
- If you're using Mod Podge: Follow the bottle's instructions to adhere the word onto the pumpkin. Optional: spray on a sealant to keep the word waterproof. I used sealant, since our pumpkin will be getting a little wet. Side note: depending on the type of printer you have, mod podge could smear the ink. You can use a little water and a q-tip to remove this (nail polish remover will also work for big ink stains). If the "Welcome" word fades from the Mod Podge, go over the word with a sharpie or black paint pen.
- Optional: hollow out the pumpkin and place a jar IN the pumpkin to make a pumpkin vase. Add water and flowers = cute fall floral arrangement.
That's it! You are done. Enjoy!

Gen. David M. Shoup served as Commandant of the U. S. Marine Corps (Commander of all Marines) from Jan. 1, 1960 until Dec. 31, 1963, a 4-year period of the Cold War not without its difficulties.
Shoup, who was a surprising nominee for this important job, would find himself before the end of his tenure embroiled in one of the most worrisome military and political events that has confronted the United States: the Cuban Missile Crisis.

Local author Viki Pidgeon received a warm welcome at the Shelby County Library on Thursday night when she gave a talk on Ireland.
Pidgeon is the recipient of an IPPY Award, from independent book publishers, for her cookbook, Ireland's Comfort Food, which she published in 2007.
Pidgeon, who has dual citizenship, both American and Irish, brought along some Irish food, prepared using recipes, from her book, to share with her audience.
She also had copies of her book on hand, and it was easy to see why she earned her Ippy.

Anyone who catches an inside glimpse of Kate Bemiss' life might exclaim, "All this and family harmony, too?"
But to Bemiss and her clan, that close-knit camaraderie goes together like, well, ice cream and cake. Or maybe fried chicken and mashed potatoes, or even a perfectly grilled steak topped with plump sautéed mushrooms, with a fluffy baked potato oozing butter and sour cream.
Getting hungry?
Then Bemiss and her clan might be just the ticket if you need a private party catered.
Platoon 2 of the Shelbyville Fire Department will tell you -- being a firefighter is not always flashy, and the work can be tedious. But it's the satisfaction that comes from doing something you care about side-by-side with people you care about that makes it all worthwhile.
"It's something I always wanted to do," firefighter Jon Blank said. "After 10 years I still wake up ready to go to work. You get real close to your family here. There are a lot of good people here."
Chances are, most people know someone who has died of colon cancer.
This disease, formally known as colorectal cancer, is the second-leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the United States, and that's a key reason why March was designated National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month by President Clinton in 2000.
Even though he didn't relish the idea of undergoing a colonoscopy, Shelby County Sheriff Mike Armstrong decided he didn't want to take a chance of becoming a statistic.

To say that the locally produced independent film "Clancy" did well in its opening weekend would be putting it lightly.
"It did extremely well. We were having to turn people away Friday and Saturday night because it was packed," said Melanie Scott, assistant manager of the Apex Village 8 Theater in Louisville. "This has been one of our biggest openings in a long time."
A day or two after we landed on Guam, at about 11:30 p.m. on July 25, 1944, those of us at the Command Post that had been established at the base of the steep cliff near the beaches, heard a cacophony of machine-gun fire and explosive bursts coming from the top of the cliff.
