Adore October 2021

The "bar-moire" she found at The Salvation Army is loaded with clever touches — cocktail books replaced with tattered novels, decanters and potion bottles labeled with sinister names, and a mirror she edged with painted gold skulls removed from an old string of lights. "Focusing on the small details brings me such joy and truly makes the big picture come together. Repurposing my older holiday decorations keeps things fresh. It's constantly evolving and I love the thrill of seeing all of my new ideas come to life." From gold spray painted racks of bones to an eerie wall piece with added gold leaf and chain to a mantel filled with ghostly-titled black books, it's clear that Elizabeth loves entertaining at home and that her home is highly entertaining. A lighted ceramic owl found at an antique shop in Ponchatoula keeps a spectral watch over the gatherings as the television screens chilling images. Alfred Hitchcock would be very much at home.
