Hi friends, it’s officially spooky season and I’m kicking it off on the blog with my Halloween apartment tour, so come on in! This is our first full fall season in our apartment and I was excited to have more space to decorate. I also got a few new things now that we have more space to store it. I typically decorate the week after Labor Day and this year it was 90* in NYC when I decorated. It was hard to get in the mood for fall while I was sweating, but I persevered. Now let’s get on with the tour 🙂
Our entry table is my favorite table to decorate and I love how cozy it is at night. I finally got smarter this year and got remote controlled battery candles so I can turn all my pumpkins on with the click of a button.
I love having my bookshelf to decorate and we upgraded our tv this football season. The light up pumpkins are new this year.
The windowsills in the living room.
We have a rare problem in NYC, our kitchen window faces east and we have so much direct sunlight it melts my candy.
I got this ghost serving tray I’m excited to make a charcuterie board with.
A new set of pumpkin mugs to make our mornings more festive.
I only added a few decorations to the office and made sure they were out of the way of Jon’s webcam.
Last but not least, if you’re wondering where I store all of this, I use one of the closets in the office for all of my holiday decorations.
Hope you enjoyed this tour! Happy spooky season!
Love it! Also, you reminded me I forgot to get out my ghost soap dispenser when I decorated last weekend. Happy Halloween!
Thank you! Glad I could help you remember 🙂 Happy Halloween!
Well done Lyssy. Your place is so neat and spotless and such great views. I must admit that we have not fallen under the spell of the Hallowe’en decorating push. Our best Hallowe’ens were when the boys were young. Many of our neighbours are really into it, while we are more “Bah Pumpkin” folks. Happy Monday. Allan
Thank you! I tidied a little extra for the post, but we keep it pretty tidy. It is fun when there are kids excited about Halloween and talking about their costume for months. Some people really go all out, and some are “Bah Pumpkin” 🙂
Apparently, y’all are feeling evil this year because my friends’ villain costumes from my 2017 Halloween party made the list this year!
All kinds of great decorations here, Lyssy. My favorite is the little ghost keeping watch over the kitchen sink. Is he meant to hold something in his mouth (ex. candy, sponge) or is he being a rah-rah with his arms held high instead? Also, I think you’ve come up with a new phrase for “irritated” when you say, “(that just) melts my candy” 🙂
Thank you! I think that ghost is meant to hold a sponge, maybe it even came with one. He is a jolly ghost, I think he is probably trying to say BOO. I used to keep my olive oil in that corner, but it’s supposed to be out of direct sunlight. Hope it didn’t oxidize or something haha
I like your ghost tray !😉
Thank you!
I loved the tour and seeing all of your cute decorations, Lyssy! The new light up pumpkins are super cute, and you will have to show us the ghost platter charcuterie board when you do it! Happy Hauntings!
Glad you enjoyed the tour! The lights on the pumpkins were pretty blinding the first few days, but luckily they settled down. I am scheming up a board in my mind 🙂 Happy Hauntings to you too!
I think you’ve nailed it while keeping it tasteful too – well Done!
Thank you! That was my hope 🙂
A great tour of your very stylishly Halloween themed apartment Lyssy.
Thank you!
Thanks for sharing this idea. Anita
I can’t believe how much stuff you have!!! I want all of it!!!!
I didn’t realize how many big pumpkins I had until I took them all down, it’s been five years of collecting 🙂
I’ve narrowed it down to that big black(?) candle holder on the side table and the 3 cuties in the window that say BOO I think!

What’s a holiday at the Hammond household without a coordinated spoon rest? This one is really cute.
I love all of this! Your apartment is so cute and I love seeing the views!
Thank you!
Very spooky and stylish! I especially love the Jack o’ Lanterns glowing in the dark! Fall is finally here and wishing you a wonderful Halloween!
Thank you! I love when it all glows at night, it’s so cozy! Hope you have a great Halloween season too!
Oh, you don’t use your magic wand to turn off the lights, it’s so convenient. What a magic view!
Haha I really need to get a magic wand! I tried snapping my fingers and that didn’t work 🙂
I love all the fall and Halloween decor! I must say, you have fantastic organizational skills for all your holiday decorations!
Thank you! I love organizing and was very excited to have a closet for all my decor. I dreamed of having a colored box for every season. In our old place I just had to store things anywhere I could find space.
I always love your seasonal apartment tours….you’re so good with decorating everything. You’d have field day in my house as I do NOTHING!
Thank you! I’d definitely have a field day, I’d even make some lego pumpkins to sprinkle around all your legos 🙂
The Hammond apartment is not complete without a seasonal spoon rest. I like your Halloween one.
I love all your autumn decorations, and very cool that they can glow in the dark! Your coffee mugs are also adorable!
