Got ready and headed for the canal to go Code orange shopping. So, a very successful trip I found a very pink Frankie, I wanted him, but I knew Kev could alter him, which he did this afternoon. I also found a tiny cat for my teir tray alongside another of the 50s style Summerween dolls like Samantha last week, we found Mavis. And another potion bottle for the bathroom. That will replace the Christmas hand soap dispenser that has sat there since January. Trouble is we had to part with so much when we were homeless that it makes it hard to part with stuff now. However, I introduced a rule that if it's in a box for more than two seasons then I no longer want it enough to keep it. So when the Halloween decor comes down from the loft it might be time to part company with a few bits I've decided no longer fit in. My aesthetic evolves, and I like to theme areas. The hall has a creepy stately home vibe, and we have the haunted reception desk area on the filing cabinet, now this year we've added to the wire spooky tree a headless horseman scene, complete with hatbox ghost in the background and a tombstone candle, not exactly to scale, but it works. The mantle area as I like to call it in the unliving room, is a bit of pure goth, crow candlesticks, and a crow bath and body works candle stand Dave the Vampire and the dead Poe section, Sadie ( of course as she has to be the head of any display!) And my spiral universal monsters stairway.
The teir tray changes as I find more stuff to fit it the whole idea of that is that it moves with the seasons, but basically in this house it will always have a creepy edge to it.
The bathroom is the same I have a sort of beachy spooky vibe with a skeleton mermaid, haunted lighthouse and beach hut. On the medical cupboard I have an array of apothecary bottles one of which looks very much like a funerary urn. Kev painted that too, and it's one of my favourite pieces. In the photo it's the middle one.
