Dark Shadows decor

topic posted Fri, May 18, 2007 - 10:38 AM by  Dex
If I can't live at Collinwood (I missed my chance by not attending Salve Regina University as an undergraduate), then I want my place to look as much like it as possible. So I'm scouring second hand shops, garage sales, and ebay for the right stuff, but the last arena is coming up dry, maybe because I'm not using the right search words. Gothic furniture didn't do it; "medieval" pulled up SCA stuff; I'm looking for that great late 60s overblown pseduo-gothic Hammer Horror home decor. Can anyone recommend good search keywords?

    i can't resist responding, even if i suspect there's an m&m's trip - or an absinthe gathering - for us in the very near future. or, well, i could just pick up the phone like any other non-bat. but bear with me here, because i was excited about something relevant to your question about a week ago. after much fiddling, i performed my first successful DS decor ebay search, simply by typing "vintage coffee table." not everything that came up was on (or even near) target, but every so often, something truly collinwoodian came up. it was inspiring.

    i suspect that this combo only works with coffee tables and wallpaper, though....the other searches using "vintage" were fruitless.
