This season I decorated my Halloween tablescape with kid friendly cute decor!
Let me just say this: I never plan on decorating for Halloween. It goes like this every year:
1. Tell myself that I like my fall decorations just how they are. Decide not to decorate for Halloween.
2. A few weeks from Halloween look around the house and decide to pull out just a few decorations. For my daughter.
3. Start decorating the house and decide to make just one trip to Hobby Lobby to pick up a few extra things. You know, just to make it more fun.
4. Realize that I’m stringing fake cobwebs from the chandelier, and that I’ve pretty much decorated the whole house for Halloween. Again.

Cute Halloween Decor
I should just know by now that it’s written in the stars: I will decorate this house for Halloween at the last minute every year. Today, I’m sharing my Halloween tablescape all decked out in kid-friendly Halloween decor. Isn’t it cute?!
As described in my step-by-step Halloween decorating routine above, I ran to Hobby Lobby at the last minute to pick up a few things for a cute Halloween centerpiece.
I ended up finding these adorable Halloween trees and vintage-looking jack’o’lantern and black cat. I love how they look arranged in this wooden tray and surrounded by twinkling fairy lights…don’t fairy lights make everything look so whimsical?
To create some super-simple place settings, I just stuck some stickers (from Hobby Lobby) onto some small paper bags. I put some plastic silverware inside and layered each setting on top of a black and white striped napkin.
My daughter, who really is my motivation for decorating the house for Halloween, loves every bit of it! 🙂
So how about you? Are you an enthusiastic Halloween decorator? Or a last-minute reluctant one? 😉

This is great, April! Those feather Halloween trees are too cute!
What a cute table! I love the kitty and pumpkin man! My kids love the Halloween decor too. I need to set it up more. 🙂
Thank you, Emy! 🙂
I say the same thing about fall and pumpkins, then I always give in. I love how you mixed natural elements and whimsy halloween decor. This is cute and I bet your daughter loves it!
Thanks so much, Jessica! 🙂
How fun is this!? I’ve been seeing those cats all around town, and I am so glad I get to see them in a tablscape setting. It’s perfection! Thanks for joining me in the hop friend!
Thank you so much for letting me join, Ariel! xo
I love this! It’s festive and elegant mixed together! Beautiful job!
Thank you, Iris! xo
This made me laugh! I find myself a little irritated to decorate for Halloween because I don’t feel it is up long enough to warrant the effort. But, my every year goes much as you mentioned in your post. Hobby Lobby’s 40% off coupon gets me in trouble every time!
Yes! Irritated is the right word! And your absolutely right, it’s because it’s only going to be up for like a second before you have to take it all down…
What a pretty tablescape with such a fun centerpiece! I usually go way out for halloween but it’s harder living overseas. I sure miss Hobby Lobby. 😉
Oh my goodness. I cannot even fathom how I’d get through the holidays without a Hobby Lobby around the corner…ha! How cool to be overseas though! Worth the hassle! 😉
Oh my goodness! That is so funny! I feel ya’… for my daughter, ya’ know! Love how this came out!
