Happy Saturday! 🖤 Hope everyone’s having a good one!

Spent the morning at our local libraries, got stocked up on some books, and headed to the theater to see Resident Evil. 📚🍿🧟‍♂️🦝

Murphy’s Law of Decorating: You’re never truly done. There’s always one more thing to add, move, or tweak. 🤡

Homemade bone taper candles for the Halloween season. 🦴🕯️ A little carving and aging goes along way!

Supplies:
• Off-white taper candles
• Carving tools: I used a dull nail file for most of the carving and an X-Acto knife for the finer details
• Brown and black craft paint, watered down to create an aged finish

It’s a party over here. 🎃 Some sculpted, some painted, some drying before another round of paper mâché clay. Jack-o’-lantern army is coming along nicely.

Decorating season is upon us!

🖤 See you soon! xo

Hey friends! 🖤 Just popping in to let you know I’m still alive! 😂

Work has been an especially demanding lately, and between that and the usual appointments and life stuff, I haven’t had much time to dedicate to filming. I miss you guys, though, and I’m itching to get back to it!

I’ve been working on my little jack-o’-lantern army whenever I get the chance 🎃, along with a few other DIY ideas I’d really love to share with you this season. I want to make things that are creative, fun and hopefully useful to you, so I’ll be back as soon as I have the time to do them properly.

In the meantime, I’ve been sharing little updates over on Instagram at @TheSpookyGhoul_ if you’d like to follow along.

Hope you’re all doing well. I miss you terribly and hope to see you very soon! 🖤🎃

A little update on the IKEA Billy bookcase makeover! 🖤

Thank you so much to everyone who shared your thoughts here on YouTube, and over on Instagram. I really appreciated all of your input! The vote ended up being surprisingly close, so it definitely had me going back and forth for a bit. 😂

Then, @TheRealGrimmLady said, “Why not both?” …and I thought, wait… you’re onto something. So that’s exactly what I ended up doing! 🤣

It was such a quick little project, but I really love how much character it added. It’s one of those small changes that makes a surprisingly big difference, and I’m so happy with how it turned out.

I love getting your opinions, and I think this ended up being my favorite solution. 🖤🦇

A few of you asked so I placed the links to the products down below. ☺️

I need opinions! 🖤

I’m giving my IKEA Billy bookcases a budget-friendly gothic upgrade with corner appliques…

Option 1: the carved wood appliques. They’re not actually bats (I don’t think 😂), but I can’t unsee little wings and I love that they’re subtle and more antique-looking without being like BAM!BAT!

Option 2: actual bat brackets for shelves. But I had the idea to repurpose them as appliques. 😯

Which would you choose? 🦇

It feels so good to slowly make this house feel like our spooky home again. 🖤

We’ve had so many showings over the past few months that a lot of the gothic decor had to be packed away. While we’re still in the middle of selling, I finally decided life is too short to live in a blank house.

The gothic homestead is officially making a comeback. 🐦‍⬛

So, the ravens are back, and I added some new gothic wall decor that I’m absolutely obsessed with.

I can’t wait to really start decorating again and share it all with you. For now, this little corner makes my heart very happy. 🖤
