I wasn't sure if it'd be weird to show you my Halloween decorations since, well, it's November 11th. But then I remembered--
Right.
Honestly, these decorations are probably staying up until December.
I'm not a huge fan of "traditional" Halloween decorations--the fake cobwebs, spiders, etc.--because they feel like clutter when they're indoors. If and when I have a front lawn, I'm going all out (maybe even making a little haunted house for trick or treaters? who knows) but decorations indoors... I like to keep them more subtle.
I've been trying to figure out what to do with the bare side of my cabinets since I moved in:
And I found my answer in comic books.
I got a huge stash of them two years ago with the intention of framing six of them at a time and hanging them up seasonally (I even bought them based on what would "go well" in each season), but, like my comic book magnets, I didn't follow through with the idea because I got depressed and everything went to shit.
I got six $2 photo frames from IKEA and got to work.
I was too nervous to nail anything into my cabinets because I wasn't sure if it would split the wood, so I decided to use the least intrusive method of hanging the frames--thumbtacks. I used the tape measure to make sure the frames were centered and evenly spaced, and the leveler because, well, I've never been good at leveling things.
Welp, these are going to stay up until I switch them out for winter-y comics. Which comic is your favorite?
Psst: I did carve a pumpkin this year (It's Potter Puppet Pal Snape. My friend Carmen made the Dumbledore next to it)
