She writes, "Here are my decorations for my living room for Halloween that I featured on my blog. I loved mixing in a spooky font tablecloth as a slipcover with my cool Halloween posters."

Stripes are the little black dress of tabletop décor. They're always in style. You can never go wrong with a good striped or broad-plaid tablecloth.
