The Gothic/Witchy House

Thinking about what I want my home to look like I immediately think of images from books like the Mayfair Witches by Anne Rice (or any of her vampire novels-while not my favorite books, Lestat seems to have impeccable decorating tastes) or any of Mary Stewart's books. I love ornate, historical furniture and something that feels a little haunted.

This wine cellar is gorgeous. So many little details come together to make it look as though it's a scene from Disney's Haunted Mansion. Is it wrong to want to leave the table set like this all the time?
traditional kitchen by JOHN DANCEY Custom Designing/Remodeling/Building
I'm in love with this kitchen. It looks like a fantastic place to carve a pumpkin or dry some herbs. I especially love the finish of the wood. It's so warm and inviting-and as I'm not an especially kitchen friendly person I feel as though a place like this might get me in there more often.

Herbal Apothecary Cabinet - $178.00 »
This feels like it belongs in this kitchen. It's a little reminiscent of Hogwarts or Mary Stewart's Rose Cottage. I will probably scour for antique apothecary cabinets as they're so useful for a variety of things.

This bathroom has such beautiful, clean lines and I can't ever resist a claw foot tub. I don't know if I'll ever have a bathroom big enough to accommodate a random chair-but I would love to. It makes it feel so luxe.

This bathroom has a slightly more castle-feel to it. I adore the candles and the mirror, and I love that the wall and counter finish flows together.
mediterranean bathroom by Hann Builders
This bathroom is completely different with a slightly lighter, airier feel. The tub, sink, and wall sconces, however, give it a darker finish that I dig.
mediterranean bathroom by Moroccan Design
I don't know why, but a Moroccan style feels so gothic. These lanterns are beautiful, and I love that there are so many of them. Why stop at one?

The finish of this cabinet in the background is lovely. I love the faux-aged look.

Well, who doesn't need a coffin couch? I don't know that I would ever put this in my living room for fear of offending others, but if I ever have a walk in closet big enough for a couch you will definitely find this there.

When it comes to beds, I have to admit that I love a canopy. This is just so over-the-top ornate that I adore it, but the rest of the room is quite a lot more simple. The ceiling details are just breathtaking.
traditional bedroom by Rick Hoge
This is closer to an attainable canopy bed. I love all of them, ornate or even more simple than this. Again, I love the ceiling details here. I think having a dark ceiling would be a decent way to compromise on having some darker details in the room, and I love that the walls aren't just plain.

"Monique" Bed & "Monochromatic" Nightstand - $3,999.00 »
Maybe for another room, not my own, I would explore an upholstered headboard like this one. This is lovely, and with such beautiful fabric used to make up the bed I don't think you can go wrong. The taupe wall is also stunning. I have to admit that I really, truly love a good taupe, and it goes with so many other colors.

When it comes to bedding, we always go red. The red, black, and cream looks beautiful together.
traditional dining room by Myriam Payne
Everything about this room is stunning-the window treatments, the chandelier and detail around the top of it... I also love the panels on the far wall, instead of having art there.

Baxter Crystal Glass Ball on Stand - $129.49 »
I don't think there's anything better for a witchy house than a crystal ball.

Alexander Henry Midnight Pastoral fabric - $8.50 »
I would love to upholster a chair-or chairs-in this fabric. From a distance it gives a totally classical look, but as you really look at the pattern it is something completely unique. The only decision is black...
