How to Make Your Own Haunted Hotel Halloween Theme for Your Yard
This year's DIY elements included two hand-painted signs, the concierge desk, the door hangers and the key rack. A skeleton check-in attendant and concierge are the perfect compliment to our weary traveling couple that was a new addition this year. Their costumes are super fun (I know I'll use them again for other themes which is super important to me since I'm all about the reusability) and they even have a motion sensor and crack Halloween related jokes. I know the kids will love this one.
This 'No Vacancy' sign was a stroke of major luck. I had already decided the theme when I saw this piece and it finishes the hotel sign perfectly! It creates an eerie green glow at night and the "no" blinks on an off occasionally adding to the ghostly air.
There are some fun little details that you have to look closely to appreciate. It all comes together nicely and makes a festive way to kick off the most fun holiday season.
You can recreate this Haunted Hotel Halloween using these products from Lowes:

Skeleton 'Rest Your Bones' Banner

RIP Tombstone
Vampire Bust
Hanging Bats
1x4 Boards (used to make key rack and concierge desk) Antiquing wax (used to age the boards)
Black Spray Paint Cup hooks (for key rack)
This is probably the post I look forward to the most every year. You've knocked it out of the park again! So well done!

Job well done! Always a thrill on your halloween themes! Curious, where did you have the key tags made? I would love to do some for a party favor.
ReplyDeleteGreat job, once again! You've outdone yourself. I came here to ask the same question about the key tags. They're spectacular. Love all the little details!
ReplyDeleteIt's wonderful. I know you reuse some things from previous years, but do you store everything or do you get rid of certain things each year? I am getting a little tired of my Christmas decor and want to figure out a way to change it up from year to year, but I'm held back by having to store more stuff and the cost. Also, how do you keep things from being ruined when it rains like the book and suitcases?
ReplyDeleteMy favorite post of the year :-)
