My kids complain that I really don't decorate for Halloween as much as Christmas. There's a reason for that — I like Christmas more! This year, though, they promised to help me decorate (and put the stuff away) so I thought we would do something a little over the top.

Chica had an old vanity that started the whole idea. We took it outside and spray painted it black.

We also needed a chair to go with it, and found this creepy one came at the thrift store.

Since it was wobbly and wouldn't actually be used as a chair, I decided just to spray paint it too, fabric and all. I actually like how you can still see the pattern in the fabric, but it is now all black instead of brown.

I purchased a fake skeleton to seat at the vanity, and decided to dress her as a bride. I went to our local Goodwill store, where I picked up an 80s wedding dress for cheap. The girls went to work making it a bloody mess! They used their grandma's tea to age the fabric, and added some dark red paint for the blood.

This skeleton bride vanity is not just a decoration — it's also going to serve a function! We are going to use it to hold the trick-or-treat candy. Just pull out the drawers halfway and add the treats.

We decorated the vanity top with various jewels and creepy accessories.

I re-purposed the IKEA mirror from Little Jo's "Once Upon a Time" party, too. I aged the mirror glass with silver spray paint, then hung it from a tree branch, suspended over the vanity.

We made her veil by tying strips of tulle onto an old headband.

As a final touch, we set out our fog machine to add some creepy fog around the whole thing. I love how it all came together and the girls are no longer fussing that we don't have cool Halloween decorations this year. I can't wait for the trick-or-treaters!
