Spooktacular Design

October 3, 2012 by Allison 1 Comment

halloween home decor - owl and moon painted on brick in a modern loft bathroom - Jean Allsopp Photography via atticmagAt this season, we call Halloween home decor  with slightly creepy effects “spooktacular” design.

Many have a soft spot for owls, including myself.  My mother decided “Al” (short for Allison) was close enough to “owl,” so I received many owl-theme related gifts as a child.  While I cannot find the backstory on this particular owl art, it appears to be a modern day version of vintage painted building advertising. (Owl Cigar ads featured a small moon and a different owl.)  No matter, as it’s a fun — dare I say a hoot? —  in this loft bath.

halloween home decor - carved Live Oak tree in living room by Chrysalis Woodworks via atticmagA couple’s love of nature led to their search for an artisan to recreate a Live Oak tree in their living room.   Its branches appear to crawl across the wall and feature a few creatures for comfort.  The artwork was carved from Buckeye wood, then colored with water dyes.

All of these are original designs that excite the imagination any time of the year but especially when the ghost and goblins are in season.
