Toni Roberts of\u00a0Design Dazzle<\/a>\u00a0created the perfect Halloween gathering spot for our Halloween Style Challenge<\/a> here on The Home Depot Blog. We sent her a mystery box of Home Depot Halloween decorations and let her style it.<\/p>\n

Take a look at how easy it is to create this cozy yet spooky look with a giant dragon Halloween yard inflatable!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Fire-Themed Halloween Porch with a Yard Inflatable<\/h2>\n

The Home Depot asked me to participate in the Halloween Style Challenge<\/a> and I’m excited to show you what I came up with! Anytime I get a chance to dress up my home for the spirit of the Halloween season it’s a good thing.<\/p>\n

Of course I said yes to work with one of my favorite stores. In fact, I shop at The Home Depot more than most stores. With all the projects I have going on, I’m there all the time! I started planning how to go about decorating a Halloween-themed space for my front porch. Last year I invited my friends for a Halloween in Paris party<\/a>. I completely decorated my family room, entry and kitchen area.<\/p>\n

This year I get to work on my porch! It worked out perfectly because The Home Depot sent me a dragon yard inflatable, which I wondered how I was going to decorate with that. But, you’ll see how it turned out – it’s so fun!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I love my front porch. The white brick, black shutters, and black door are the perfect backdrop to decorate for Halloween. It also works for all the holidays I want to decorate with. But utilizing the front porch for this challenge worked out perfectly. Last year I decorated my back patio for the Home Depot Style Challenge<\/a>\u00a0and used this firepit and chairs. Check it out – you will also see what the color of my home used to be.<\/p>\n

Pumpkin Decorations<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I went shopping at The Home Depot and found some great Halloween products.<\/p>\n

When I saw the stackable pumpkins at The Home Depot I knew they would be perfect to place on top of the black planter urns I’ve had forever. A black crow just adds the finishing touch!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I’ve collected fake pumpkins throughout the years and threw in a few to create some vignettes. One easy trick was to use outdoor window screen<\/a> to create a “wrap” around the pumpkin. I have a few faux pumpkins that are old, faded and have seen better days. I gave them new life by wrapping window screen around them and then tied with ribbon. Inexpensive, easy to cut (with a pair of scissors) and quick to do.<\/p>\n

\n

Skeletons & Lanterns<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Mr. Skeleton holds a birdcage with a talking Raven<\/a> (with sound effects) is a great accent for my bench. I was so surprised to see such cute pillows in the Halloween section! They absolutely are what I needed to add the right touch to my cute bench.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Loving the look of my home all lit up at night. These battery-operated spider lanterns<\/a> are pretty cool. The candle lights it up with a 6-hours-on\/18-hours-off timer, so you can easily add beautiful ambient lighting in hard-to-reach areas. Or, simply turn it on or off as needed with the switch on the bottom.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This BOO sign literally took 20 minutes to make! Don’t you love this kind of craft? I purchased the pine wood board 12 in. x 6 ft. from The Home Depot. Of course, they cut it for me (I just needed 1 ft. cut off the end). I sprayed painted it orange and let it dry (that was the longest part) then I nailed in the letters that I already purchased a while back. Quick and easy!<\/p>\n

\n

Inflatable Dragon<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

So how did I incorporate the fire-eating dragon yard inflatable?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

One of the first things our trick-or-treaters will see when walking up to our front porch will be the fire eating dragon and our fire pit lit with a cozy, warm fire going. This\u00a0dragon yard inflatable\u00a0is impressively huge (9-ft. tall) with moving wings and a red lit fire belly! As you can see, it certainly is a fire eating and fire breathing dragon!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We’ll just hang out on our front patio and hand out candy and chat by the fire while roasting marshmallows. It’s a nice thing to visit with neighbors rather than just handing out candy. I’m sure even most of the kids will love to roast a marshmallow or two.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In fact, I even roasted myself a couple of marshmallows in honor of getting ready for Halloween night.<\/p>\n
