Our fireplace mantle, shelving unit and other tabletop surfaces have a mixture of old and new Halloween decor displayed in various neutrals, textures to create a dimensional masterpiece Poe would be proud of.<\/span><br \/>\n<iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/HkpNGptLvSE\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Refresh Old Decor<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Go through your Halloween decor to determine what can be used to create this neutral look. Many of the items that I already had from Halloween past were orange, so I used white and matte black spray paint to change the color of pumpkins, lanterns and skulls to highlight this color scheme.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Corral Accessories<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">I find having random decor pieces on tabletop surfaces with no rhythm or reason doesn&#8217;t really create a seamless flow for the eye to full intake what it&#8217;s seeing. When you anchor the decor together than your eye sees the entire group, rather than each individual piece. So, how do \u00a0you do this? For Halloween, I start off decorating each area using either spider webbing, lace runners, or gauze swags &#8212; this acts as a base for the other decor to rest on and begins to group items together. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"display:none;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-25771\" src=\"https:\/\/toritoth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Untitled-design-164.png\" alt=neutral halloween decor\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" srcset=\"https:\/\/toritoth.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Untitled-design-164.png 560w, https:\/\/toritoth.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Untitled-design-164-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/toritoth.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Untitled-design-164-480x270.png 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 560px) 100vw, 560px\" \/><\/div>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Playing with Height + Scale<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Once you have a base to anchor the decor, next you want to group items together by using varying heights. You should use small, medium and large pieces combined to create a cohesive look. Not to mention, you should make sure the items are to scale with one another. Here&#8217;s an example, I had originally ordered a 3-foot skeleton from Target to sit next to the typewriter, but the skeleton looked too small (basically the same size as the typewriter) and the set-up didn&#8217;t look quite right. So, I exchanged the skeleton for the larger 5-foot skeleton, which sets scene and makes the skeleton the focal point since it&#8217;s the largest piece in the display.<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"display:none;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-25766\" src=\"https:\/\/toritoth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Untitled-design-163.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" srcset=\"https:\/\/toritoth.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Untitled-design-163.png 560w, https:\/\/toritoth.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Untitled-design-163-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/toritoth.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Untitled-design-163-480x270.png 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 560px) 100vw, 560px\" \/><\/div>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Antiques On Display<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Speaking of displays, often times I will use old cameras, video cameras, lanterns and typewriters in my decor throughout my living room. It&#8217;s just some items I like to collect, but I thought rather than put them away for Halloween, why not use them with this theme? I find using antiques deepens the story or theme you&#8217;re trying to promote. Poe was an author in the 1800s, these types of antiques could&#8217;ve been found in his home to record his life and thoughts, so it makes sense that they&#8217;re used in recreating this theme.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"display:none;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-25770\" src=\"https:\/\/toritoth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/2017-10-04_1428-1024x687.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"571\" height=\"383\" srcset=\"https:\/\/toritoth.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/2017-10-04_1428-1024x687.png 1024w, https:\/\/toritoth.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/2017-10-04_1428-300x201.png 300w, https:\/\/toritoth.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/2017-10-04_1428-768x515.png 768w, https:\/\/toritoth.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/2017-10-04_1428-1080x724.png 1080w, https:\/\/toritoth.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/2017-10-04_1428-980x657.png 980w, https:\/\/toritoth.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/2017-10-04_1428-480x322.png 480w, https:\/\/toritoth.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/2017-10-04_1428.png 1129w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 571px) 100vw, 571px\" \/><\/div>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Mix in Metals<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">While I did use a lot of white, cream and black &#8212; I also highlighted gold and silver objects in my decor to enhance the neutral color scheme and introduce some glitz to Poe&#8217;s otherwise macabre tales.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"display:none;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-25772\" src=\"https:\/\/toritoth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/2017-10-04_1439-1024x685.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"578\" height=\"387\" srcset=\"https:\/\/toritoth.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/2017-10-04_1439-1024x685.png 1024w, https:\/\/toritoth.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/2017-10-04_1439-300x201.png 300w, https:\/\/toritoth.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/2017-10-04_1439-768x514.png 768w, https:\/\/toritoth.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/2017-10-04_1439-1080x722.png 1080w, https:\/\/toritoth.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/2017-10-04_1439-980x655.png 980w, https:\/\/toritoth.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/2017-10-04_1439-480x321.png 480w, https:\/\/toritoth.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/2017-10-04_1439.png 1126w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 578px) 100vw, 578px\" \/><\/div>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Where I Shop<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">When I\u2019m looking for holiday decor pieces, I keep in mind my budget and while I browse <a href=\"http:\/\/www.potterybarn.com\">Pottery Barn<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.grandinrod.com\">Grand In Rod<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.westelm.com\">West Elm<\/a>.

rapping, rapping at my chamber door.<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u201c\u2019Tis some visitor,\u201d I muttered, \u201ctapping at my chamber

silence was unbroken, and the stillness gave no token,<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 And the only word there spoken was the whispered word, \u201cLenore?\u201d<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">This I whispered, and an echo murmured back the word,

But, with mien of lord or lady, perched above my chamber door\u2014<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Perched upon a bust of Pallas just above my
