Leva Bonaparte Shows Off Her Super Spooky Halloween Decorations: "It's Starting"

The Southern Charm cast member shared a behind-the-scenes peek at her Halloween setup, and we're obsessed.

Spooky season is here, and Leva Bonaparte is ready to go to town with her holiday decorations. 

How to Watch

Watch Southern Charm on Bravo Thursdays at 9/8c and next day on Peacock. Catch up on the Bravo App.

Last year, we caught up with the Southern Charm-er as she showed how she and her son, Lamar Jr., filled their front yard with Halloween-themed inflatables. Included in the mix was a giant pumpkin wearing a striped witch hat, a pile of smaller pumpkins, and a black cat with creepy yellow eyes, fangs, and red bat wings. 

This year, the Charleston mom is bringing out all the goods yet again, hopping on social media to give fans a peek at how she and her family are preparing for the fall season

Leva Bonaparte's Halloween decorations 

On October 4, Leva took to her Instagram Stories to share a look at her in-progress Halloween decorations. In the photo, we could see the restaurateur's gorgeous "traditionally Charlestonian" home (as she points out in the video above) and two large skeletons. 

"It's starting," Leva wrote over the snapshot, showing how the one extra large skeleton figure held the hand of the smaller skeleton (hilarious, by the way).

We also spotted a ladder and a stepladder out front around the skeletons, prompting a few questions: did the Bonaparte family use the ladders to put up the skeletons? Or is there more exciting Halloween decor to come?

A Look Inside Leva Bonaparte's New Charleston Lounge

In addition to celebrating the holidays, Leva recently celebrated another occasion in August: the soft opening of her new lounge, Lamar's Sporting Club. The bar, which is located at the former home of her 1st Place sports pub, is named after Leva’s husband/business partner, Lamar Bonaparte 

In a statement to The Post and Courier, Leva and Lamar described the space as “a luxurious destination that promises to elevate the vibrant nightlife of Charleston’s King Street.”

“Showcasing meticulous attention to detail in its exquisite design, Lamar’s Sporting Club will be a cutting-edge fusion of exclusivity, sports, and nightlife, catering specifically to Charleston’s patrons and tourists alike,” the husband and wife team added.

They went on about the drink selection: “At the heart of the venue lies the crown jewel, an exceptional sporting club boasting the city’s finest selection of classic cocktails, ensuring an unmatched experience for our guests." In addition to cocktails, Lamar’s Sporting Club will reportedly offer a selection of beer, wine, premium spirits, and more.

Following the soft opening, Leva took to her Instagram page to share an inside look at the 2,000-square-foot lounge. The bar's design was both classic and cozy, emanating masculine vibes with dark wood paneling, Chesterfield sofas, and taxidermy mounts.
