I seriously HATE mice. With a passion. So when Ryan saw the stairs decorated for Halloween, he was more than a little confused.
I explained that I only hate real mice. I like mice of the paper and Mickey variety. Aren’t they so stinkin’ cute?
I don’t usually decorate much for Halloween. But, I’ve been loving these little mice since I spotted them last year by Sarah at Thrifty Decor Chic. (Isn’t she awesome?) When I saw her stairs last year, I stored away that idea cause I knew we could possibly have stairs to decorate next year (this year).
Then, I spotted the mice at Michael’s and used my coupon. Everything comes full circle. Score.
So, if a real mouse shows up, I’ll likely lose my stuff. But, these little fake mice are a-ok.
What do you think of our fake mice? Spooky enough for Halloween?

You did such a great job with this! Wish I had the stairs to do this:)
Rachel says
Those are utterly adorable and not spooky at all! I love the little action scene going up the stairs!
Midwest Mrs says
I cannot get over your stairs. Your man is VERY talented! Looks perfect for Halloween!
Mom says
When I came to walk the dogs the other day, I about had a heart attack when I saw them. They really do look cute!
*claire* says
cute! your freshly painted crisp white stairs are perfect for this.
Shannon says
So your the ones that put these up in their houses hehehe….How the heck do you not freak out everytime you catch them out of the corner of your eye? I’d be flipping out. All things small and rodenty make me vommy. But you do have the perfect steps for them. I’d have the same ones if there wasn’t a carpet runner down them. But I’d put silhouettes of bunnies or something. Nice, safe, cute bunnies ๐
Leigh says
So cute! If my stairs were in decent shape I’d do it too.
lyndsay @ Mr and Mrs says
omg! i love these, they are adorable!
i hate real mice too…i’m getting the shivers just thinking about one running around!
Amanda @ Serenity Now says
I think they’re cute, and I think you used just the right number. Not too many, not few enough to freak people out and make them wonder if they are real.
Chelsea @ {twotwentyone} says
Cute! I definitely prefer the paper mice over the living, breathing kind of mice.
Lauren says
Cute!! ๐
Mrs. Chic says
I love the faux mice on your staircase! This year we bought faux crows, my husband hates birds of any kind, so its perfect icky factor to our little bit of Halloween decor
Kelly @ Corner of Main says
So cute! Your stairs look so nice, crisp, and clean…makes me want to paint ours and get some lil’ mice =)
Danielle and Clint says
I actually bought these last year and they were a huge hit at our Halloween party! This year, I decided to use them on our book shelves.
Meredith says
Fun! I wish we had a staircase sometimes, ’cause I keep seeing such cute paint/wallpaper jobs!
Laura says

These are great. I hate mice as well. My parents videotaped me when I was younger crying so loud and saying how I hate mice because I saw one in our garage. Hopefully that video was lost when they moved. ๐
Jenny @ Words on Wendhurst says
Small, baby and fake versions of animals can be really adorable! Have you ever seen a picture of a baby skunk? I love your stair mice, and would probably already have invented a whole story about how they are a little family that lives in my stairwell. ๐
DecorandtheDog says
Your stairs are perfect for this!
Alli (and Tommy too!) says
Haha, they look awesome against the white stairs! Wonder if you’ll confuse a few visitors over the next few weeks ๐
Jill says
I think they look great! Boy do I love that stairway… Beautiful!
Lynne says
Lol i looked at this and thought they were a permanent decoration and not temporary festive holiday decor… i was about to say, “Kim, we need to talk” ๐
daisy says
Absolutely brilliant! Enjoy your lil’ varmints!
modern jane says
