    Nice suggestions for home decorating. I've always loved the Gothic look.

    There is a wonderful charm about Victorian Gothic Revival that as you explain is quite different from 'goth'. I've spent quite a bit of time in and around historic buildings and can see the appeal, but I think you'd need quite a grand home to successfully adopt this decorating scheme! Nothing to stop people adding touches of Gothic Revival though, such as those wonderful goblets.

    I was letting you know that I have featured this page on my: The Victorian Era lens. This is a beautifully done page so of course I had to drop off a sprinkle of "Victorian Angel Dust".

    I'm never seen anyone decorate their home with this style, but it looks interesting. Very informative lens! Liked.

    old buildings have much more charme and also have something warm which i miss in modern buildings

    Oh well I will say it again even though I commented above the lens is really informative, It is hard not to enjoy decorating and I love so many different styles and particularly love knowing the history

    Congratulations on your purple star.
    My home decor has no distinct style at this point in time but I do like what you have in this lens. =)

    Great resource for gothic period decor.

    I actually don't know much about decorating, well, other than cakes I guess, but I did enjoy this lens a lot. I like the look of most of what you've shown here, and I especially admire how you found and used allposters images in a way I had not seen done before. Most excellent learning experience for me, all the way around.

    Fabulous information about Gothic Revival home decor. Blessed by the Interior Design Angel.

    Love these styles though so are dark and a little too heavy for my taste. I love "looking" at them but not sure I'd want to live in them all the time.
