“Certainly, mankind has not sacrificed its rights; If mankind dared but to listen to the voice of its heart, changing suddenly the language, It would say to us, as it would to the animals of the woods: Nature created neither servant nor master; I seek neither to rule nor to serve. And its hands would weave the entrails of the priest, For the want of a cord with which to strangle kings.”

— Dennis Diderot, Les Éleuthéromanes

Amber was a teenage goth and she’s 100% a goth at heart. Here’s how she made a dreamy, dark, moody home for her family, on a budget.

Amber said, “Our home is a Victorian semi. We instantly fell in love, as we both love period properties. It stretched our budget so we decorated by buying second-hand/vintage, upcycling furniture, and painting bathroom tiles. The majority of the changes we’ve made are cosmetic.

Amber’s favorite room is the lounge. She wanted a room w/black walls, but was a bit nervous. She’s so glad they did it, b/c it oozes atmosphere and pleases her soul.

The dining room is deep teal with white. Amber says, “ Your starting point for inspiration can come from anywhere: A film, a holiday, a cushion.”

The master is a pretty, dark, sanctuary. It reflects Amber’s styles of moody, maximal, eclectic, bohemian, & vintage.

The mural in the spare room was bought from a friend’s company.

Painted wall tiles and tub in the bath turned out great.

This is April’s Patreon environmental piece, where my patrons get to vote on themes for each month! This piece ended up a little more illustration-y, but that’s not bad, and it’s good for me to vary my process a little bit. I talk a little more about my process and also have some process photos of this piece on Patreon, accessible with the 5$ “Stardust” tier!

Additionally, the poll for May’s piece is up and will be open to all tiers until May 15th, and there is a link to my Patreon in my bio. Until then, thank you so much for supporting me!

Personal touches. Decorative painting on the beams transforms them from eyesores into design assets. Brass fixtures and decorative tiles, like those behind the tub, offer countless design properties.
