Creepy and Fascinatng Ideas




Edible EYEBALLS are always good for a Creepy Halloween thrill:



Or, go for table decor. 
 It's a kinder, gentler,but less filling -effect:

NEXT, For your more, ah, advanced DIY consideration...

...Here's a rather COMPLICATED D-I-Y from 1870,
 which came about as result of 
the plague 400 years earlier:

 Known at the time as  
"The Great Mortality", "The Black Death" and "The Great Pestilence",
 the 14th century Plague led to ... an overabundance of bones.
They had to be stored in All Saints' Chapel
 after the local monastery's graveyard began to overflow .   
40,000 skeletons;
 Frantisek Rint arranged the  bones...
~
 The chandelier is made with at least one of every bone in the human body. 
T
Some of the skulls are resting on the knees of trumpet-playing angels...



Doesn't that make you HUNGRY?!?

TRY THIS Crazy-Snake CHEESE CALZONE:



Okay, creepy crafting,  gross eating, now it's time for  Cranial Costuming:

A very cool DIY Tirck or Treat costume!

~the how-to is here~


The rest is up to you.
Happy Halloween Time!

Unusual Room Design and Decor Ideas


It's April 2nd, so we are safe after, a day of...surprises. 
So here are, with some unexpected, smart room ideas...
Mostly real:

This is creative, fun, and very real; one lucky kid's bedroom paradise:


Smart+original: Living Room...Inside of a computer!
For the devoted Geek, one really could 
do something like this in a real home, too...


Real, unexpected, but maybe not real(ly) comfortable?


Beams, boards, and the hanging beads behind the headboard.

A childhood love of LEGO turned into
 adult design whimsy.
Cost: $1000.00 to cover this island.
( You might consider paint, instead!)


 A Steampunk beauty:

Very real, very interesting idea, but a lot of fish tank maintenance!


For dining/cooking al fresco lovers:




And that's all the Smart, Unusual Design there is?
Nah,
...it's only the beginning...

Happy April 2nd ~

Happy Valentine's Day!

Design a Happy Valentine's Day:

Give a Valentine to Someone who might be overlooked: a Senior living alone, a Single friend currently unattached, the sweet kid who might not be the most popular...Stop by in person, offer a card or gift and a smile....you get the idea.
: )


                             

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!
