Haunted Midas Mansion DIY Halloween Mantel Decor


Y’all. I love to decorate for Halloween. I say it every year. I dreamed up a haunted Midas mansion for my DIY Halloween mantel decor this year and it was SO MUCH FUN to create! You know the midas touch – everything turns to gold!? Well here at our house that is rarely true, but for Halloween we are going all out on the gold decor and you are going to love some of these budget friendly Halloween decor ideas!welcome to the Haunted Midas Mansion. These easy DIY Halloween mantel decoration ideas will inspire you to create an elegant Halloween home decor aesthetic that is a little bit vintage, kind of spooky and tons of fun. #indoorHalloween #Halloweendecorating #goldHalloweendecor

A theme always gets my creative juices flowing and honestly, until the Midas idea hit me in the middle of the night I wasn’t to jazzed about decorating for Halloween this year. And yes, you read that right. I think of random stuff like Halloween decor ideas in the middle of the night. It’s dumb. LOL! But – it got me motivated, so that’s a good thing.

Most of the other Halloween decorations were left over from years past and only required a little gold spray paint to bring them up to speed. Always use what you have and make it work for you! welcome to the Haunted Midas Mansion.

Can we talk about this “wallpaper” for a minute? I always want a backdrop on my mantel because there are two ugly plugs up there I like to cover. This Halloween I devised a faux wallpaper situation by stenciling a gorgeous damask onto brown craft paper (or wrapping paper). It was all about quick and easy decor for this part. I didn’t line up the stencils, or even fill them in all the way. I rolled some parts darker than others and made it completely imperfect.  QUICK TIP – I do love to use a small roller sponge brush for applications like this, it works really well and super quick. welcome to the Haunted Midas Mansion.

I had an old frame and portrait in my stash. I bought it for $5 at a thrift store and only bought it for the frame, but hadn’t ditched the picture yet. I thought she made the perfect mistress of the Midas mansion! I blacked out her eyes for that creepy “someone is watching from behind the painting” feel in silly horror movies. welcome to the Haunted Midas Mansion.

I say this all the time about holiday decor, but it is great to have a good supply of non-descript, non-holiday items you can use over and over in a variety of decoration situations! Candlesticks, books, boxes, trays, frames, etc. They are perfect to mix into any holiday decor and make it feel curated versus store bought! If you invest in some good basics then mixing in cheap dollar store and Walmart finds is easy and let’s you still have an elegant feel to your style.
