GOOD EXAMPLE

d-i-y design

One of my favourite stores in the whole world has to be Pottery Barn, maybe it is a blessing in disguise that they are only in the US as I think I would spend a small fortune there! But it is great to always look at their website especially for inspiration and take this Halloween Kids Party as an example: many of these ideas you can replicate in your own home and for a fraction of the cost.

Also be sure to check out our GOOD NEWSLETTER ISSUE 3 that has more spooky solutions to hosting a Halloween Party.
