Since you probably saw our Halloween Dining Room already, you may have noticed these on the background...

| Green and ghoulish goodness |
I got the inspiration from my Halloween Guru, Martha Stewart with her
Petrifying Potion Display
 |
| Martha's Version |
I wanted to have a "Witches Dining Room" so I thought this would be perfect and easy to pull off.
I used Lime green food Color in varying amounts for each jar ($1.75 at Hobby Lobby) and bought Lotus pods and 2 other faux flowers to put in my jar. All were on sale and I spent less than 10 dollars for all. The jars were mine of course, bought years ago from TJ Maxx.

| Night time view |

| Day time view |

| Lotus pods look the most eery |
I'm pretty happy with it and totally completes the whole space.
How about you, are you ready for this ghoulish holiday?
Happy Decorating!

Oh my word, this is so creative and it does look really spooky. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteSimple ideas that deliver great effects are exactly my thing! Love it, it looks very spooky! Just wondering, will the food coloring stain the jars?

No it won't. I tried it before and it didn't so hopefully, the green won't be any different. :-)
DeleteGreat ideal, very creative!

ReplyDeleteDecorating for Halloween it's what you should be doing in Oct., pretty Vel! When I had my small girls, all I did was carve pumpkins, decorate cookies, bake pumpkin cakes, try to give them pumpkin soup and was never lucky on this one, lol! I love those pretty apothecary jars with Green creepy stuff, heheheee...I will be making a Halloween tablescape son, so stay tune! Thanks for your Darling visit sweetie. Have a fun week.
