~* Our Enchanted Gothic Cottage: Goth Home Decor and Renovating *~
Yay, we are now living somewhere new - we moved in last year into what I like to call our "Enchanted Gothic Cottage". We have been very busy with renovations and decorations this year! We definitely needed to "goth" it up as everything was white, disgusting green and cream and we were not comfortable with it. Of course, Bane's blog Goth it Yourself has been a big inspiration here.
The walls and ceilings we painted grey and the borders and skirting boards black. We also updated all the curtains, light fittings, power points, furniture, decor etc. Let me know your thoughts on the transformations.
BEFORE THE RENOVATIONS:
Here are photos of the house before we made any changes - in fact, before we even moved in.
AFTER THE RENOVATIONS:
Warning -- lots of photos ahead!! These photos are after we completed most of our renovations! We still have lots more to do to the house but that's all we will be doing for the time being.
