deathsdj Goth Manor
Not a manor actually but a little house I bought about a year and a half ago. Nothing fancy but I thought it might appeal to some of you guys. It is a three bedroom two bath built in 1907. It has two secret rooms on the upper level and a secret passage between the two downstairs bedrooms. Not really a goth style house but I plan to decorate it in a very Gothic style as finances permit. Right now it is like a big blank canvas except for the upstairs bedroom where I spend most of my time.

Dining Room. Square table seats six. I need a table cloth and some chair pads. http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l2...psf75a596d.jpg Another corner shot. It shows this kinda cool planter thing in my front yard. It need a statue or plant or something. Continued |

My bedroom upstairs. I'd like to say it's where the magic happens but really it is where my daughter and I watch cartoons and sleep. She does not like to sleep alone in her room downstairs yet as she is only 4 but I'm sure she will appreciate it one day. Continued |

Upstairs bathroom that we use. Pink rugs were a gift. :) Cool tub, fake fireplace but it is a space heater. The downstairs bathroom is generally unused. I don't really entertain... http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l2...psa97d612e.jpg My music studio. Part of the upstairs bedroom. I play Bass if you were wondering. Not shown are the two downstairs bedrooms, bathroom, kitchen and laundry but my camera wants new batteries before it will work anymore. :mad: Also I didn't post pics of the secret rooms or passage but then they wouldn't really be secret any longer if I did right? Well that is my little goth manor. Not much but I like it and my daughter and I are comfortable there. Give me a few years and I'll have it looking much more like I want. Just felt like sharing. Not trying to brag or anything. It's not a high dollar house by any means and it's not in the best neighborhood so of course I have an alarm and some cameras. It is within about three minutes of all the schools my daughter will have to attend though which is awesome. Thanks for indulging me! |
Looks great.
I notice that you mentioned your house is in a sketchy neighborhood and that you rightly have an alarm system and cameras (great items to have in any case). Have you thought about adding a last line of defense in the form of a firearm? |
Yeah. I have a Taurus .357 revolver and a Remington 12 gauge. I also have a few swords, a spiked flail, several knives, a quarter staff and a wrist rocket.
:D Add in a general bad attitude, parental instincts and having worked in bars for the last 24 years and I'm probably the wrong house to mess with. |
Future plans do include a fence around the whole property and adding a couple of beasts. I have only been here a year and a half so it will take some time for me to get things where I want them. I'm thinking about three years and everything should be finished, barring misfortune of course.

You had my envy at 'secret rooms' and 'secret passage' :D Great house deathsdj.

I'm thinking of adding an organ or upright piano in my dining room. I have found a couple that are for sale on the local craigslist but I don't really play and don't know what to look for or watch out for. Time to do some online research I suppose.
I want one to facilitate my songwriting as well as to have as an option for my daughter. I'm trying to surround her with a lot of ways to express her creativity, just to see what she shows an interest in. I know I would have loved to grow up in a house with multiple musical instruments as a child. I'm also looking for an upright bass. Unfortunately they are a little out of my price range right now unless I find a lucky deal. |
