A Worn-Looking Door Becomes the Perfect Halloween Prop

Hold off stripping and refinishing that worn-out door until after Halloween -- see how this weathered door with the peeling paint looks perfectly dilapidated? This is a situation where procrastination could work to your advantage, as long as you add the right props. Here, the props are fake spider webbing and a large hairy faux spider. If you let the real thing join the display, it then takes on a whole new exhibit -- like, what's real and what's fake?

Just don't take it too far -- calling it a spooky Halloween door in March is not going to fly with most of your neighbors.
