Gothic Homemaking Update

Goth Homemaking Update! For everyone who has asked about my Victorian reno project here's how it looks covered in autumn leaves. Of course there is a LOT of work remaining but I think it's so pretty even now, in its haunted / abandoned aesthetic.

Winter will slow the work down but I am still working on layouts and floor plans and securing contractors for spring. And spending a lot of time thinking about paint colors for after the exterior reno is done! What colors do you guys think it should be? (It's a painted lady so it needs a whole color palette.)

Black and grey are probably a must but a dark red or gold trim or highlight in the exterior could be very cool. There’s a bar called Death and Taxes in Reno that does a super black gothic exterior that might be a good reference?
