    I have always loved this look! I used to call it " bookish", "old English library style", "aristocratic nerdy". Basically the girl I always was deep inside... Currently, I am putting the finishing touches on my wide dark hallway. Studious on one side, ( heaven knows stacks of books aren't a problem) and the other side an art and curiosity wall. It's not just for Halloween.
    Love everything you did here!!! ❤

    Okay I LOVE the idea for using the velvet back of an old picture frame!!! It's really beautiful! You have an extra special and uniquely creative gift to be able to look at things differently, even more than other creative people i think. I absolutely love your ability to use the "garbage" items from projects and turn them into beautiful things. You've even helped me look at clocks in a new way (former clock despiser) 😂

    • @kathykramer6267
      @kathykramer6267 Год назад

      I agree with all of the comments above-using the velvet backing is brilliant-but I’ve always loved old clocks! I buy newer clocks at yard sales even if I only want it for the clock face and also use the frame separately.

    Wow! So many great ideas I don't know which to start with. Love the book stand, the bookends, and the paper flowers. I have a very old plastic owl that was in my father's garden that is passed its prime but I hate the idea of tossing it. I think I'll try to repair the hole in his foot and give your pedestal idea a try.

    • @CanterburyCottage
      @CanterburyCottage  Год назад +3

      You can use Loctite Repair Putty to repair just about everything and you can sand it after it’s dry. Be sure to paint the owl with some thick textured paint to disguise that it is plastic.

    ❤I love that dark look every day...kinda like Sherlock Holmes apartment. I also love "science" glass..test tubes and amber bottles. ❤ I have to be honest...when you start something I think to myself..what on earth is she doing now. That's not going to look good. But EVERY TIME once you are finished it's ALWAYS MAGNIFICENT ❤ I was one of the people who voted for you to paint you bookcase dark. It's FANTASTIC. Love all your ideas❤

    • @CanterburyCottage
      @CanterburyCottage  Год назад

      Thank you so much, Jahma! I hope I got your name right, or is it Jahmas? I love the test tube look, too! Why is that? Does it remind us of school or old horror movies?! I’m so glad that there is a name for this style now. Whoever coined “dark academia” is a genius!

    So many great fall ideas for a dark moody but not so scary feel! Last year I found an Edgar Allen Poe book of tales and poems like yours. I love it for a Halloween decor with black ravens. I now want to decorate this year with your ideas of black cats and birds! By the way, I had to memorize The Raven in middle school so I’ve always been a bit fascinated with Mr. Poe! 😄

    • @CanterburyCottage
      @CanterburyCottage  Год назад +5

      You are a girl after my own heart! I became fascinated with Poe in high school; I think his stories might have been one of the reasons I became an English teacher. I never had to memorize “The Raven” though! That’s a long poem! I had to memorize Frost’s “Stopping By Woods on a Snowy Evening”-much shorter!

    This is so exciting! A week ago I picked up an old crib w/2 of the 4 wheels missing and thought I'd upcycle it into something for the garden, but you've given me an idea I may just try. So now I'm looking at it and ideas are endless. You always inspire me! Thank you!

    • @CanterburyCottage
      @CanterburyCottage  Год назад +5

      Oh, I am so glad that I could share this idea. What a coincidence that we both thrifted old cribs! I wasn’t sure how it would turn out, but I ended up loving how unique it was.

    • @pjp9383
      @pjp9383 Год назад +1

      ​@CanterburyCottage Make that 3 of us! Except that mine was a curbside find, and is more of bassinet (actually, what I'd describe it as is a deathtrap - flimsy, cheap "wood," very low sides on the cradle part, wheels, and of course, a mechanism so you can put your baby in this thing and walk away, letting it rock by itself - no chance of that ending badly, right? 🤪)
      Anyway, I intend to turn it into a plant stand... 👍🏻

      Good afternoon, Bobbie! I just recently realized that I have always loved the dark “scholarly” look, but before there was never a name for it, so I didn’t realize it!

    I must tell you, I subscribe to probably 30 different creators on RUclips. And honestly, when your channel would pop up in my recommendations, I would just skip by because my style is more modern/transitional. One evening, I watched one of your videos, and I was hooked! Not only did I learn so much just by studying your techniques, but I’m blown away by how you can look at something that I would pass by or discard and turn it into something amazing! I’ve since gone back and watched several years’ worth of episodes. Thank you for the teaching and inspiration you provide. I hope that others, like me, will slow down and watch and be amazed by the creativity!

    I’m not sure I’m loving dark academia design, but I am loving your projects! The plastic bird projects were great, but my favorite was the wall sconce. The textured glass was so beautiful. Then, upon further reflection, the book ends seem to have eked out a win! As always; it’s too hard to choose!

    Love the bookends and bookstand. I also liked the owl (I have loved owls since the early 70's). I also like the dark academia decor. All the projects were great and inspiring. Didn't miss the pumpkins, at all!😉

      Oh, thank you, Marilyn! I was actually thinking that I might try decorating my home without using any pumpkins this year. I feel it will transition into Christmas better. On the other hand, I have some pumpkin decor that I really like! 😜
