Spook Your Home this Halloween

Sounds familiar right? Well we see them in movies and museums, supposedly to fight of evil spirits. They are categorized guardians of the keep but as far as homes are concerned, would you put one in your home? Better yet, would you want it to be the first thing that a visitor would see once they walk up to your front door?

The normal answer would be no. But if you are that superstitious, then maybe you would place a small one for the sake of protection and legendary beliefs. It all depends on culture and beliefs of the home owner. Placements of gargoyles don’t have to be that big or stunning to really scare out demons and spirit. A small one that can probably blend well will do. Just check out Gary Chang’s collection so you can see how they can mix well with the modern home.

Ancient Gargoyles in Modern Home Designs

The Fresno headboard captures the spirit of the Arts & Crafts style, if not the color scheme. While natural wood tone was the mantra of the movement, painted finishes, like the Ebony used on this headboard, gives the Fresno contemporary flair. This is another headboard that has the beefy hand-hewn feel to it – purposely designed to counterpose the ornate Victorian effusiveness, which preceded this new design school.
