If I had my way I would live in a home that was a cross between The Munsters house and The Addams Family home. But I cohabitate and not everyone shares my love of all things dark and creepy. So I have to be content with making fabulously creepy and wonderful items for other people's homes. This week I finished a spice rack that I think would be the perfect touch in a gothic kitchen. I gave it a bit of an apothecary design. Who hasn't dreamed of cooking in their kitchen and grabbing spices from a rack with poison signs on it? It can't just be me. ;)
I really like displayed collections featured in glass enclosed hutches or curio cabinets. So whenever I find a cabinet with a glass front I snap it up for a creeptastic display shelf. I gave this one a Black Widow theme.
Occasionally I run across clocks that I want to give new life to. The Latin phrase, "Omnes Vulerant, Ultima Necat" (All {hours}wound but the last kills.) is a perfect phrase to remind us of times fleeting quality. I incorporated it into this clock along with a miniature cemetery to fill the space where a missing drawer went.
