Colorado Signature Homes

Halloween tips for your Colorado home

With Halloween slightly over two weeks away, it’s about time to drag the boxes out from the attic and start decorating. However, why not avoid the inflatable pumpkins and vampires this year, and give your home a little added spook. Here are two suggestions for turning your Colorado home into an eerie haunted mansion.The graveyard lawnAs long as this is done right, turning your lawn into a graveyard can look very spooky. Purchase (or make for that fact) a collection of tombstones and intersperse them around the lawn. The key is not to spend a lot of money, but to get more than one eerie slab (just one tombstone isn’t a believable graveyard). Sometimes you can find a three pack of tombstones; like the pack at Halloween Express for under 22.99. To complete the look, throw a few pieces of “cobweb” over the stones. If money isn’t an object, we think a fog machine is another great touch.The witch’s pantryThis year, make a candy display that will make them second guess taking the treat. Each year, Michaels sells a collection of potion bottles with eerie ingredients; like snake eyes or worm parts. Purchase one or two of these and surround them with gummy versions of their ingredients. If you have a few clear jars (particularly apothecary ones) fill them with candy fit for a witch’s pantry (gummy eyeballs and worms). Surround the display with a few rats, spiders and cobwebs, and you’ve got one unforgettable display
