My kids got me watching old episodes of Grimm. It would be totally impractical and a nightmare to keep clean, but I envy that trailer full of weapons and books. I’ve always kind of wanted my home to look like a vampire hunter’s library. Or an apothecary. Or a witch’s workroom. Cluttered with historical and magical objects.

I come from a line of scary hoarders (including my own mother) so I’m not sure this desire is entirely balanced and healthy. I’m no stark minimalist in my decorating but I try to keep my collections moderate for the sake of my family and mental health.

But a girl can dream, can’t she? Of that awesome trailer on Grimm, or the spice shop:

Or the Sanderson sisters’ house on Hocus Pocus:

Or the sewing room from Stan Against Evil, apparently designed by the awesomely named Zombie Cat Studios:

Or practically any interior shot from Penny Dreadful. Any at all. I don’t lean Victorian in clothing styles, but I love the profusion of pattern and texture in Victorian homes:

If I ever become a full-blown hoarder like my mom, please let my hoard be this fabulous.
