Happy Halloween

Our friends Kyle and Eve had a fun Halloween party last night.


Very freaky little head twins.


Kyle and Eve's home had so much soul, I couldn't help but be captivated. This cute little crochet demon was made by Casey whose Etsy shop can be found HERE.

He even crocheted his own devil horns.

Loved the art, the paint colors, the moldings, and built in wood work of this fabulous home!



Got a few shots of Kyle's studio.



(I had a David Lee Roth poster similar to this button in my room circa 1984)

They have a huge front balcony and of course, it was decked out, too.

Including this great chandelier!

Loved Eve's studio. It's inspired me to get my shit together and organize my own studio (aka, basement dungeon).


Our friend Ande Parks dressed up like Walter White's drug lord alter ego, Heisenberg.

I think he captured it!

Thanks to Kyle and Eve for such a fun evening!

Evolution of a Space Part 2

I spent another evening at Amaze bringing in the vanity and an old farm table and trying to get things up off of the floor.

And I found a place for my tumble weeds! I used dried naturals, like the reindeer moss, to add some textural interest and a subtle pop of color. I love a monochramatic palette and color is hard for me. I would rather add dimension through texture.

This English pewter tea set has so much character.

And I am digging my baby doll door stop.

I got a couple more pieces stuck on the wall but all of it will need to be rearranged once I finish painting the tall chest of drawers and move it in.

And I'm sure I'll always be tweaking and fluffing as I find more treasures and add them to the mix.

As predicted, Sharon's yummy soaps are a great addition. I'm glad I kept a few bars at home for myself!

Evolution of a Space

I was at Amaze until the wee hours pricing and arranging my treasures. It was pouring rain and I couldn't move my furniture in, so tonight, it's Part II.

As of right now, much of my stuff is on the floor, so I'm anxious to get everything moved in and styled.

I was so excited to walk into the store last night and see my corner sectioned off so I could really understand what I was dealing with space-wise. As a newby, I just started buying up things I liked and didn't have any idea how much I would really need to adequately fill the space.

I think I have a nice start but I'll know more with the furniture included.

I love this little celluloid bride and groom. She's even wearing a corsage.

And vintage plastic religious statues and crosses are always wonderful.

That's a tumble week poking into the photo on the right. I'm not sure if I'm going find a place for them; they take up a lot of space!

I'm also a novice when it comes to hanging things. The black bang-up up window below would be cool suspended, but I'm not that confident, yet.

I wonder if my pink painted garden shoes are too "left of the dial". I sure love the lime green ones I have on my birdbath at home.

Composite doll leg. Does anyone understand?

More pics soon as the evolution continues . . .
