Gothic Home Décor
Funky, gothic home décor for the morbidly inclined. If Martha Stewart were really gothic, color is the only thing she'd have to change. Her central ideas are already well-suited to the gothic subculture. Martha adores finding old linens and gently worn furniture at flea markets. She sews a lot of her own household dressings. She paints and experiments with unusual painting techniques on objects small and large. She loves flowers, live and dried. Her style flirts with Victorian, Art Deco, and modern elements and frequently mixes them into a very beautiful mishmash. And even though her surroundings look very rich, many of her ideas are created from rather simple and inexpensive materials, like fabric scraps and secondhand dishes. Themes explored on the website are Victorian, medieval, techno-modern, cemetery, fairy, Asian, Egyptian and punk. If you want to design your home with flair, this site will give you good ideas.
