Barnesworth Tabor Cottage, Vespertine upcycled fence town/autumn; 8f8 Storyteller’s Burrow Reader’s Pier, Botanical Aspen Trees, Half-Deer Deadwood Trees, Skye’s Enchanted Woods, 3d Trees Spruce 01, Pixel Mode Fall Harvest Barn

I do not decorate my home for Halloween and only add a bouquet of colored glass bulbs and a gold tabletop Christmas tree for Christmas. My apartment is small and I don’t waste my limited storage space storing decorations. My second life, though, seems to have infinite storage space so I love to decorate there. Also, it’s much less work to pack up and move and also less expensive. Here,then is my home for fall inspired in part by the macabre aesthetic of Tim Burton. I began by tinting my Tabor Cottage from Barnesworth to saturated dark colors instead of the natural stucco that it was originally. There’s a barn in the background with a few animals and a dock on the water.

I added this prop fence from Vespertine because I loved the bright colors and though it did not add anything macabre to the home, I liked the colors and the idea of it. Not everything needs to be macabre.  

Schandefreude Drippy and Boney Candles, DRD burtonesque cabinet, dust bunny eerie lamp taller and shorter, DRD Quirky Lam, Second spaces Burton Table Red, DRD Burtonesque Gothic Couch and teaset, W.Winx and Flair Rug Set – Maple

The living room I tinted what I called Burtonesque Purple, a lovely foil for the black and white boldness of the furnishing from DRD for this month’s Collabor88. The black and white maple rug is from Whimsy Winx & Flair. It’s got a color change script so if you don’t like black and white, there are more options. The lamps are from Dust Bunny. I was disappointed they have no illumination, but I put little projectors inside so they cast lovely shadows of their ironwork cages.

In the other corner, another of the gothic couches from DRD with some asymmetric chairs from The Loft that are made with mirrors of each other. I had some gorgeous channel back asymmetric chairs that I sold when I downsized to this apartment. I loved sitting on them and resting my arm on the curved back, though i think the metal frame on these are not suited for that kind of lounging. The artwork is from DRD. It comes with two pictures close together, but I edited linked parts so I could have one picture on the left of the window and another on the right. Lots of furnishings are modifiable to give you that kind of flexibility.

The rest of the living room has this fabulous fireplace and I placed some of the DRD Burtonesque Wall Decor tree silhouettes there as well as the fabulous throne chairs. On the far wall, there is a delightfully rude mirror from Lisp.

I also added the lovely black studded pumpkins from Dust Bunny to the table setting.
