While we are away at H.P.F.M. I thought I'd share a few blasts from the past. Enjoy. We'll catch up when we get back.
Rocking the Whimisical Gothic Muse in Decorating
When I was researching Tim Burton Muse week in home décor, I didn’t know what I would find in the Googlesphere. Didn’t really know what I wanted to find, but I knew it wasn’t Halloween, or Vampire or even too spooky – just atmospheric, a little playful, but with gothic pattern and old velvets and curtains, a somber color pallet, a little sweetness, a little romantic decrepitude, a little melancholy…
Where I ended up from my research was 3 Burtonesque styles: Traditional Gothic, Gothic Modern, and Fantastical. Other ways include Alice (see our Alice Muse week) or Spooky Circus (as in Big Fish) inspired, but I couldn’t find much on the Circus-way. Maybe a muse for another day…
It’s been a fun week of Burton-ing. As we’ve said, we love his work and that he rocks the method designer with his clothes and his art in sync.
Hope you enjoy! Braxton
Let's start with a Traditional Gothic Story...

| Love the ironwork and the B/W and red story, classical and modern elements here |
 |
| Very dark |

Love the silver legs...and the croc rocks!
|

Moving to Modern Burton and Modern Gothic Stories...
 |
| Very cool room |
 |
| Great silver story here. Romantic |
 |
| Great juxt of old/nw with B/W story and silver |
 |
| Bold Burtonesque stipes, ghost chair and mirrored table rocks! |
 |
| Very dramatic and theatrical |
 |
| Silver and gray bold stiped wallpaper and dark floors look great. |
 |
| Red and White bold stripes also work, especially with dark wood floor and furniture |
 |
| A little too theatrical and bloody, but cool |
 |
| Dig the full moon. Nice B/W and grey story |
 |
| Love this |
 |
| Love the poison green chaise in this B/W room - really makes a statement! |
Now for a dose of the Fantastical Burton Story...
 |
| See some colorfull playfullness here |
 |
| Fantastical Burtonesque trees |
 |
| What I'm seeing here is the lamps and shadoweque whimsical hangings |
From the Moma retrospective...

| Tim Burton - Rock On! We love your work! |

The one you said was to theatrical and bloody is a Dexter ispired party room. With the seran wrap floors and red thread and test tubes with blood, it's one of my favorites on here... definitely not time burton but i see where you get the idea that it is :)
You are exactly right! We don't watch TV (true) so I had to research the show. This room was indeed inspired by Dexter. I guess it's in the same macabre family, though lacking a certain Burtonesque sweetness or whimsey :) Thanks! Brax
