As I've been spending my time fabricating dripping skin and formulating ways to mimic Meryl Streep's rotating head from her character in Death Becomes Her (my costume this year, ha!), I found myself in need of a more...elegant escape. I love Venice, in all its maze-like glory, and have been seriously infatuated with this photograph from Venice, A Personal View by Andrea Baldeck:
Halloween is coming up soon— if you don't have a costume, look no farther, get yourself to a dance store, and buy up their stock of tulle! I almost regret not doing this myself. Although, maybe that's why people have early parties...
In any case, this photo, and a generally Venetian mood, was my latest inspiration for a light-hearted piece I painted- a beat up former record cabinet that is now... a liquor cabinet. Everyone needs a pretty place to keep their booze for the holiday season, right?
Especially one that opens up to metallics! (I have to laugh. It's almost comical how attached I am to these metallics...) I love the glimmer of beautiful liquor bottles, why aren't the interiors of liquor cabinets usually more adorned? They spend so much time open, after all...

I like your costume idea. I love the cabinet....especially The Glenlivet :-).
Tights Lover- Glenlivet, yes! Of course I'd have scotch in the cabinet! Especially for fall.
the cabinet is gorgeous…and i couldn't help but notice the elderflower liqueur – my go-to cordial.
Love this gorgeous cabinet! great!
