Halloween Throwback DIY: Gold Skull

<div style="text-align: center;">I was at Michael's the other day grabbing some watercolour supplies and was happy to spot that this year they restocked the little cardboard skull that I used for my <a href="http://tiffanyleighinteriordesign.blogspot.ca/2012/09/diy-gold-skull.html"><span style="color: #ea9999;">gold skull DIY</span></a> last year.<br />This skully used to be a permanent figure on my coffee table, adding the perfect amount of edge to an otherwise pretty space. The zebra has since taken over, but I brought this guy back out for some Halloween fun!<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgubN9EhpIiYHfEvsof9gclJStbudMt6yjGsfKWsKIuf3PD4F5PuSB31QPfu_ght2KvxPBl8Nr2vWGVOhBnWI5HSLw41Q6OwDTV6aYpKK5wdoZ3qbm3u8g6_ZEIUEroc_Ciet7bvxaCkTY/s1600/005.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgubN9EhpIiYHfEvsof9gclJStbudMt6yjGsfKWsKIuf3PD4F5PuSB31QPfu_ght2KvxPBl8Nr2vWGVOhBnWI5HSLw41Q6OwDTV6aYpKK5wdoZ3qbm3u8g6_ZEIUEroc_Ciet7bvxaCkTY/s640/005.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEGawH1hkZHwklXFYYO1TmGACVgGkdeWQIFXj4RJP_kQp5GdYRe1x3hSIC9t1Mc8UsnvGPwCb3Vhb1xSRz2NedKXPNTeuLUrISE4YI-lyLyK2aicBGh1ow28pGmPOOnEutefnhBEnTmFI/s1600/004.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="456" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEGawH1hkZHwklXFYYO1TmGACVgGkdeWQIFXj4RJP_kQp5GdYRe1x3hSIC9t1Mc8UsnvGPwCb3Vhb1xSRz2NedKXPNTeuLUrISE4YI-lyLyK2aicBGh1ow28pGmPOOnEutefnhBEnTmFI/s640/004.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieZupLqZ7hK0gHGFbsSYEJGnbDAvAT-M4rEivLdWW3pGQnstET6ZHVxaGJoPeGiOhk8NUWgsK6tHC1N_eLYazde7JQHtSrRE-QRlkNtKk8w7Tmdc46l0SvkfXH2lm-s1zXrWcZG-HGoQY/s1600/009.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieZupLqZ7hK0gHGFbsSYEJGnbDAvAT-M4rEivLdWW3pGQnstET6ZHVxaGJoPeGiOhk8NUWgsK6tHC1N_eLYazde7JQHtSrRE-QRlkNtKk8w7Tmdc46l0SvkfXH2lm-s1zXrWcZG-HGoQY/s640/009.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEircMZu3-EqRaCE4qEwwdhAwP2Hat_ZTnslbz9PrsYQxoPecdL2C0X0w1EwgZuFn3NyQ4sJdwLUjL1FG4EL_vIwcEwtoyxTDkmwOghkg5kg8mpSpRHyB_14Zmc_7PClBjZLRsMGu-5zB0M/s1600/012.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEircMZu3-EqRaCE4qEwwdhAwP2Hat_ZTnslbz9PrsYQxoPecdL2C0X0w1EwgZuFn3NyQ4sJdwLUjL1FG4EL_vIwcEwtoyxTDkmwOghkg5kg8mpSpRHyB_14Zmc_7PClBjZLRsMGu-5zB0M/s640/012.JPG" width="522" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5TL8x4pWXepR7EmW__mymdxXcY9QZ8VS0Tt9jNSt77OmZsc4ixYc3DO2TBxcmh7FhyAGZbN2o1VG6K2VPuJi_3cSMZX_K9o8yBJZwGaqcddEh0W_1IivzyOqWMcv5D3AgEXrqsnwJ3nU/s1600/011.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5TL8x4pWXepR7EmW__mymdxXcY9QZ8VS0Tt9jNSt77OmZsc4ixYc3DO2TBxcmh7FhyAGZbN2o1VG6K2VPuJi_3cSMZX_K9o8yBJZwGaqcddEh0W_1IivzyOqWMcv5D3AgEXrqsnwJ3nU/s640/011.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> Pretty glamorous for a dead guy, right?

Advanced Residential Project Inspiration: My Abandoned Dream House

<div style="text-align: center;">This term our big studio project is advanced residential, a 4000 square foot house that we must design from scratch, including the exterior. It also must be barrier free as one occupant is in a wheelchair. Oh, and the plot of land we are designing on is a hill.<br />It's an intimidating challenge to say the least, but I'm ready and excited to face it head on.<br /><br />As I started thinking about ideas, I knew I had to go visit my dream house for inspiration.<br />This house hasn't been lived in for years and is now owned by a large company whose warehouse is adjacent to the property in St. Jacob's, Ontario. It sits mostly abandoned. There is a haunting, historical, charming presence to the house that has always drawn me to it.  With halloween right around the corner, it was the perfect time to go snoop around this abandoned beauty. <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6d5RPvWCLAB2X7x0GZQEySnGJHLFWyqIGiAgFdGAqfkwBvYyyXdOvffnN7sZnH6LzyDNfmJCBtkq7WUHmiy37jaPKuzR538zDf39fn7eTJsr_mCm1B7hpv5aaEzfkEj2cvF6o0aSs9Y0/s1600/017.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="416" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6d5RPvWCLAB2X7x0GZQEySnGJHLFWyqIGiAgFdGAqfkwBvYyyXdOvffnN7sZnH6LzyDNfmJCBtkq7WUHmiy37jaPKuzR538zDf39fn7eTJsr_mCm1B7hpv5aaEzfkEj2cvF6o0aSs9Y0/s640/017.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjstlOq5Wyi4nuLgltVTXfMmmSd3P0NfKmIRQFIee6C0V51xqxRyaCJgumbWND5McujquwPLDqbeGEcBsKqk7PMsm6H_C8Qikkerzuj-tRxYmu0FY7EqSWkeiNEsa4FejkaVd_6khq8amw/s1600/022.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="468" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjstlOq5Wyi4nuLgltVTXfMmmSd3P0NfKmIRQFIee6C0V51xqxRyaCJgumbWND5McujquwPLDqbeGEcBsKqk7PMsm6H_C8Qikkerzuj-tRxYmu0FY7EqSWkeiNEsa4FejkaVd_6khq8amw/s640/022.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7ceAwFfiu23u1sVW9gLZI97QmNH9uA1HYyGNMmVfMG3WfH-BF4EeEe7gw6kFjlgyrt6zWKGOLOMMdp5X0ACrk1-AorByrNBv_zX8LrooXEF_umGGa76QhEohbpd_QDpk6tr_FXfa44es/s1600/030.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="368" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7ceAwFfiu23u1sVW9gLZI97QmNH9uA1HYyGNMmVfMG3WfH-BF4EeEe7gw6kFjlgyrt6zWKGOLOMMdp5X0ACrk1-AorByrNBv_zX8LrooXEF_umGGa76QhEohbpd_QDpk6tr_FXfa44es/s640/030.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAXAPbYIp2jJ3X7V7eTmboCk5s03pT5iIbc48u2lWu45X_GrttDgndSRz1I94C8Jm9fsnx2c0hphIZJe_ADULOx7Yv3ahUbsJePojHabugFA51CGpt8YdzO5NZ-QB2kCtCvMdC3eGBgVA/s1600/005.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAXAPbYIp2jJ3X7V7eTmboCk5s03pT5iIbc48u2lWu45X_GrttDgndSRz1I94C8Jm9fsnx2c0hphIZJe_ADULOx7Yv3ahUbsJePojHabugFA51CGpt8YdzO5NZ-QB2kCtCvMdC3eGBgVA/s640/005.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIdVDr4fc6SDSjPqGKgsgv2WmE5yvUIv5JIusOP_clXonXTMGdeC95IOqmumE3icCecGaY53KQJ6bEYla9c1fM0IIgnnK4wnuCG1MJ780OzYKHq5Tey2EdaOQwUj8aBwY9uvqi09RJbQw/s1600/012.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIdVDr4fc6SDSjPqGKgsgv2WmE5yvUIv5JIusOP_clXonXTMGdeC95IOqmumE3icCecGaY53KQJ6bEYla9c1fM0IIgnnK4wnuCG1MJ780OzYKHq5Tey2EdaOQwUj8aBwY9uvqi09RJbQw/s640/012.JPG" width="426" /></a></div>I've always said if I ever have enough money to build my own house it will look exactly like this. The red brick, large porch and balcony, regal columns, ivy covered walls and tall windows are all speaking to me.

I swear I heard a door shut while I was peering into the windows at the empty rooms!<br /><br />Hope you are all having a lovely week!<br /><a href="http://s1254.photobucket.com/albums/hh609/tiffanyleighinteriordesign/?action=view&current=Tiffany-27.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i1254.photobucket.com/albums/hh609/tiffanyleighinteriordesign/Tiffany-27.jpg" /></a></div>

Happy Halloween!! &Top Gun Costume

<div style="text-align: center;">Last week I posted about my favourite Halloween costume ever, <a href="http://pawleysislandposh.blogspot.ca/2012/10/boy-nursery.html"><span style="color: #8e7cc3;">Audrey Hepburn</span></a>, so today I'll post a close second.<br />My boyfriend gave me the idea for this costume and I really loved it! <br />Top gun boys and girls.

I went to a local army surplus store and found a basic green coverall. They only had really large sizes so I got my mom to take it in quite a bit. I glue gunned on some of my old girl guide badges, bought a pilot pin at the costume shop for a dollar, and the sunnies I already owned.
