Gothy plants

Aug 3, 2014 in Home and My photos

We got some new plants recently, and since I want all my plants to look like something out of the Addams Family conservatory, we ended up with the gothest plants in the plant buying place.

These two are the very gothest of the lot, black and purple! I put together a suitable display for them and put my Coven painting up on the wall (still for sale, I’ll just switch mine for a print if someone buys the original). This is actually the first time I’ve had one of my own pictures up on the wall since we moved here.

The one on the left is a Peperomia and the other a Calathea (which moves its leaves around like crazy, sometimes it’s much more spread out).

Hallway shelf

Aug 27, 2013 in Home and My photos

I don’t think I’ve shown this shelf in our hallway on the blog before. I snapped some photos when I was dusting it a while ago.

Some nice packaging, poodle soaps, top hats, dinosaur skeletons and a glamorous severed hand.

Henrik took the above photo when playing around with flash settings. You can see the fabric I mentioned in the 1940s prints post. Below is a little vignette from a shelf.

Wardrobe

Jun 26, 2012 in Home and My photos

Finally got around to taking some semi proper photos of my wardrobe! It doesn’t have any windows so it’s really hard to photograph well. The photos are still a bit dull and grainy, but they’re the best ones so far.
