I set a fun Haunted Victorian Mansion table for my demonstration at Taste of Charleston last weekend. It was such a blast and I wanted to share some of my fun ideas with you!
 |
| You can see all of the holiday tables I set in this image but it also shows the layers of lace and crochet that were torn and ripped that we used for this table. Halloween is a great opportunity to use an old lace tablecloth that might have a tear or a stain on it. |
 |
| I used beat up pewter plates and added red fabric paint to an old napkin. The napkin already had a small tear so I added more tears and wrapped it up with a piece of chain that I bought at the hardware store. |
 |
| I made this mummy glass by wrapping it in medical tape. You could do the same for kids by wrapping up a juice box and adding some googly eyes! |
 |
| The gorgeous flatware is from World Market. I would use it any time but it worked for this haunted mansion table because of the pretty black lace design. |
 |
| Silver candle sticks were placed around the table with black and grey candles in them and spider web around them. I also covered a dollar store black crow on a bed of moss under a cloche for a creepy touch. The pumpkins in the background were cut off flat at the top and we placed two trays of moon pies on them. It is a great trick for adding height to a buffet table. |
 |
| The place card was made by the Left Handed Calligrapher with white ink on black paper. I burned the edges and nailed it to a small white pumpkin. |
Love the old lace and especially the flatware!! I might have to run out and get some! Very creepy-chic. 🙂
Adorable!!! So festive. LOVE!!
