My Gothic Office

It's that time of year again, and I have had put up my Halloween decor at work since October 1st.  Here are a few pics of my new office space "dressed" for the season.  Sorry I'm posting this AFTER Halloween, but I just got the film back from the developer:

Starting on the left, this is the top of my file drawers.  The second pic has a few tombstones added to the lovely cemetery where the witches are doing their yearly laundry.  The two buildings on either side of the witches are mausoleums:




Moving to the right, we have the beginning of my actual workspace, complete with creepy cats hiding in the plants, and a grinning bat swooping down from my jewel orchid:



In the corner to the right of that is my permanent "shrine" area, which has the Skeletal Scarlett O'Hara drawing framed by two dragon candlesticks, some plastic skeleton hands in the offering dish before it, my resin skull to the left, and my Egyptian deities to the right:




Above all this (and also over my computer) looms the Wild Rumpus, a troll vampire, and two versions of The Grim Reaper, who actually live there year round:






Think I had enough "Halloween spirit" in my office this year???  Now, let's see how long it will stay up before someone notices it's still there!  ;-)

  1. It looks lovely! My office is so boring. I had the same unwashed curtains all 5 years I worked here, an example of how it might look :P

    1. Thank you! Most offices/work spaces are boring, I think, unless you are allowed to put your own personality into them. Fortunately, we are, as long as we don't make it TOO weird!

    2. Oh I also have the ability to make it personal. But I don't have the time or lust to bother. I don't know if they will move me to another office either.

  2. Very impressive office decor, if I do say so.

    1. Thanks! There's only one other person I know of there who has more and possibly better decor, and that's the witch who has the office next door on the other side of my wall. And she IS a witch in the literal sense...
