Decorating Your Bathroom for Halloween

Halloween is right around the corner and the Night of the Living Dead is sure to bring some surprises to the Nassau County area. Just kidding, but it doesn't hurt to get in the spirit of the season and what better place to start than the bathroom. There are a number of different things you can try and there is no limit on where you can take it. Put your creativity to the test and see just how festive you can make the bathroom or bathrooms in your home! 

Scented Candles

Everybody loves a pleasant fall scent. Whether it is a nice apple crisp or pumpkin pie, everyone enjoys satisfying their nostrils. So why not bring these scents into the bathroom? Yankee and American Candle both offer a line of fall flavored candles that are sure to spice up any room in your home!

Fall Curtains

The bathroom window really ties together the whole room. If your paint allows it, you should consider throwing a fall themed curtain on your rod. Maybe one that features a Halloween pumpkin or a nice orange and green blend that lets your guests know you're in the fall spirit!

Pumpkin Dispenser

Your soap dispenser doesn't have to be bland and boring, it can draw eyes to your beautiful vanity set up. If you don't want to go all out with the pumpkin, you could just pick out a dispenser that matches your fall themed bathroom. If you're really into design, you can also pick out some hand towels or napkins that bring together all of your decor. 

Spooky Shower Curtains

We've all seen the horror films where the man jumps out from behind the shower curtain to haunt his targets. Well, you could scare some guests by purchasing a spooky shower curtain of your own. You could go online and scroll through a number of curtains that feature shadows of Jason, Freddy Krueger and some of your other favorite Halloween villains. It is sure to spook at least one unsuspecting bathroom goer.  

Unfortunately, decor is not the only thing we have to worry about in the bathroom. Halloween leads us directly into Thanksgiving and that means more guests will be pouring into your home and using your plumbing. It is up to you to take the proper precautions and make sure your pipes, fixtures and faucets are prepared for a busy holiday season.

Pumpkin Picking & More On Long Island

Long Island has so much to offer 365 days a year. The summer brings lovely beaches and the fall brings the farm life that outsiders don't expect us to have. This type of diversity is what makes Long Island so great and this is one of our favorite times of the year. The weather is cooling off and the families of Long Island are heading out to these farms to have some fun this weekend!

Dee's Nursery

69 Atlantic Avenue

Oceanside, NY 11572

This is the perfect place to take your family for a little weekend fall fun. Hopefully the weather holds up so you can enjoy their kid-friendly corn maze, petting zoo and face painting station. While you're here, you can enjoy some delicious apple cider and relax while your children enjoy themselves. 

Schmitt's Family Farm

26 Pinelawn Road 

Melville, NY 11747

This farm features a massive pumpkin patch with some of the largest pumpkins on the island. You can also enjoy their wonderful hayrides, slides and straw pyramid with the younger ones in your family. But after the sun goes down, it turns into a haunted place where only adults and teenagers can roam! 

White Post Farms

250 Old Country Road

Melville, NY 11747 

This is one of the oldest and most accommodating farms on the island. For one fee, your family can enjoy the animal farm, dog show, sing-along hayride and bounce park. If that doesn't knock out the little ones, let them roam around in the pumpkin patch and pick out some prize winners. Plus, it is right on Old Country Road so the Nassau County folks don't have to take the long trek on the LIE.    

Lewin Farms

812 Sound Avenue

Wading River, NY 11792

This 1,100-acre family farm doesn't have all the flare that the previous farms did. What it does have is an abundance of fresh produce, pumpkins and a real old school feel. Their main attraction is roasted corn and it is definitely worth every penny! 

If we left any of your favorite Long Island farms off the list, feel free to share them with us on Facebook or Twitter!
