What, When, Where: Trick or Treat!

Happy Halloween!

In her post earlier this month, Kara Lashley showed us all the right ways to add designer touches of the macabre to your interiors, highlighting tasteful ways to dress the home for Halloween. But in honor of the creative spirit that pervades today’s holiday, I’m here to show you some ways do-it-yourself decorations may go wrong. Below are photos of homes bedecked in their orange-and-black best. I’ll let you decide which are stylishly designed and which are just downright scary.

When in doubt, add more lights!
