A Glitzy Halloween Tablescape

This Halloween tablescape was inspired by the Anthropologie Bistro tile collection. I love these bowls with the double handles and the little Florette tile at the bottom of the bowl, This glitzy halloween tablescape has the perfect combination of sophisticated and boho vibes.

These bowls and some assorted serving pieces are part of our collection now, and I am sure you will see them again and again around here. I have my eye on a few more pieces and we’ll see if I can resist the temptation, which I doubt. This bistro tile collection plays nice with the boho linens I found last year for the holidays.

Details about the Glitzy Halloween Tablescape

The black and gold vibe makes for a moody tablelscape for the halloween season, but yet keeps it fancy and refined. The gold accents coupled with our wedding Lenox china and Waterford crystal and my parents sterling flatware elevate it to an elegant setting.

The only Halloween-ie touch are the glittery trees down the center of the table. The trees are from the Target Dollar spot and although they were $5, they were a minimal investment. I love the simplicity and are perfect for setting the mood with all the candies.

The linens provide a boho vibe.which compliments the bistro collection nicely. The napkins are 100% linen, which casually folded are each place setting relax the mood creating a juxtaposition with the fine crystal, china and sterling. The corner of rustic and refined is my favorite spot.

Closing Thoughts

Do you see the shattered sliding glass door on the right? While blowing the patio, our gardener blew a pebble and it splattered the glass like a spider web. It was a total fluke accident. We will be replacing it as soon as we figure out the best course of action, but this is the current situation.

I was so excited to finally post a tablescape in the dining room since it has been Mister M’s home office for awhile now that I totally forgot about the shattered window.  I asked him if I could set the table in the dining room, and he promptly cleared out so I had to go ahead with the plan even after I realized I had the shattered window pane in the background.  C’est la vie.

The assorted silverplate tapers are part of my thrifted collection.  The smoky glass and mercury glass votives are all from the store I work at, Whim House, along with the linens.

The water glasses are from my paternal grandparents.  The gold rim and the etching make my heart go pitter-patter, and the fact that they came from my grandparents is just icing on the cake.

I am not sure what Halloween will look like this year.  My kids are old enough where it does not affect us as much.  My heart goes out for all the families with littles but it sounds like many are creating clever ways to still make it festive.

We decorated the outside of the house to make it festive for the kiddos in our neighborhood.  I’ll share more real soon.  We had a wave of little ones move in a few years ago and it reminds me of when we moved into the neighborhood, when the Masterpiece kids were five and three.  It’s such a fabulous neighborhood and super family friendly.

How are you celebrating Halloween this year? Stay safe and happy hallows eve!

It is as much fun to scare as to be scared.”
