My goal is to get the Victorian bedroom done I started so long ago!
I am decorating sort of like the serial-killer's apartments are done in the movies with odd furniture and objects but the tennant for this room will be a very famous and historical killer.It will be interesting if anyone figures out whose apartment it is?
Even though it is "Victorian", there will also be some parts of the place that will look like ancient Egypt, which some will think looks totally out of place or stupid but there was the "Egyptian Revival" style of furniture and architecture popular around 1820 and since my tennant is a world traveler and bows to no one else's tastes just his own.......hey, he likes it!
This will be the only room in my 1870 Italianate house that plays to it's original styling...sort of...
I should also mention he doesnot live there alone. He met a famous female along the way and she is prominently displayed there too. (Hint. They are an unlikely couple but then her husband died sooo long ago!)
