Phase 2 of The House Behind The Trees ~ The downstairs #TeelsBuildaHouse

on
So we are starting the downstairs ... I HATE to say basement because we had a basement in our old home, where you opened a door and went down stairs separated from anything else. It was a finished basement complete with a bedroom, craft room, family/game room and we spent a lot of time there ~ our oldest son moved down there in jr high and stayed through high school ... until we finished the master suite in the attic then he moved back up to the bedroom floor with his brother and sister.  So here our downstairs is open to the rest of the house, you can see through to the outside from the top of the stairs going down because we have a wall of windows down there as well.  We really didn't plan to have a kiddo down there but since we are having to do a switch-a-roo with rooms (I'll explain later) he is moving home soon and will be downstairs. Anyhoo, our downstairs will house our main family room, our middle sons room, a full bath and kitchenette.  I thought it would be fun ...

Sweet Ways to Decorate With Halloween Candy ~ Whether you need a treat to give as a gift, a treat bag for a party or just to simply have out during the season, you are sure to find a cute, clever way to decorate your goodies here.

This dessert table packs an unexpected punch by displaying oversized suckers in vintage bottles.

Fill apothecary jars with piles of candy corn or gumballs for containers that bring the Halloween spirit to any bare table.

On Halloween, pretzels become "crows bones" and candy corn is "pumpkin teeth," in this fun centerpiece you can eat (if you dare).

Christmas isn't the only holiday that stakes a claim to candy-covered gingerbread homes. At Halloween, build a delectable haunted house instead.

This candy-coated sign won't last forever, but is an inventive way to highlight Halloween's scary and tasty sides.



Place some candy corn into the bottom of a mason jar to help prop up elegant branches and add a touch of fall flair.

Because it wouldn't be Halloween without your favorite grocery-store treats, this DIY puts them front-and-center.
