Embrace the Halloween Fun
Who does not like free candy? Halloween decorations are an easy way to cheer up yourself and those around you. Since Halloween is a short-lived season, no one expects you to spend a lot of money on it. You can go the dollar store or thrift store to find decent decorations for the low. Grab yourself a cute little Casper-the-friendly-ghost to hang up on the door or, better yet, get yourself a giant bowl of candy for the coffee table. It does not have to be that difficult.
Soften Your Colors

If you have a deck or balcony, that is where you want to put your pumpkins and gourds. As long as you are on the second story, your fall vegetable decorations should be safe from vandals.
