Welcome back to the open house tour of my Valentine decorated cottage with home furnishing from The Collage. Today we are heading upstairs to the Victorian romance bedroom and outside to a hidden garden area. All items are from The Collage, a monthly special home event lasting for two weeks with wonderful and delightful exclusive items. You don’t want to miss this, Taxi please…
Enter the world of romance, an era long ago of elegance and charm, a bit simpler time but one filled with splendor. The upstairs is an open loft space with banks of windows on all four sides and a large peak roof, adorned with What Next Morning Tea Chandelier. We first notice the cozy Spargel & Shine Homes Victorian inspired era bed (Annie Antique Pearl Brass Bed) and are ready to jump in. Please note Tess Spargel of Spargel & Shine Homes attention to detail in the blush rose printed quilt with corresponding painted rose side table, dresser, drapes and tea set. Truly an authentic representation of times past. Cementing the bedroom and adding warm below your toes is the braided hand-made rug, common for the period. Easy to roll back at a moment notice when the gramophone is cranked and dancing is called for. The sheer drapes (Annie Rose Sheer) with the delicate print accentuate the antique style of the furnishings.

I wasn’t going to do Halloween this year because I over did it last year with a week-long sim open house and multiple blog posts, however that all changed when I saw Finishing Touches eerie skeleton leg table and adorable gothic Halloween Cupcake Treats. The Halloween Cupcake Treats are a three-tiered cupcake stand with three varieties including hot pink frosting with dark chocolate spiderweb, pink vanilla milk chocolate spider with licorice spider legs and jolly skull-eyes. The decorative treats inspired a stylized gothic black & white Tim Burton-ish living space complete with clock filled room, covered sheet chairs and spirits from beyond. Pop over to Finishing Touches and delve into the deliciously decadent gothic Halloween delights!
