@the_avantgarde_ it’s not vocal fry… just an indication that I had a good time 😂 I feel incredibly grateful to have a whole new space to create in, but creatively, it’s challenged me. I’ve spent the last few months learning how to work with a completely different home, and I don’t think I’ve made anything here yet that I’ve felt truly proud of. This was the first setup where I finally felt like I was finding my footing again. Completely new territory for me, so I was equal parts excited about it and unsure of it. But I loved the outcome, and I hope you guys do too 🤍🎈

Transcript

Don't want cliche decor for my Halloween party. And this year, I'm about to top what 33,000,000 of you saw last year for Alice in Wonderland. And the theme? The movie is. But in case you're new here, I like to make things that look expensive on a budget. And today, I'm starting my transformation across four connecting rooms, starting off my best slightly with an introduction to Derry, specifically, Nybould Street. Best little did they no, just one floor below would be the entrance to Pennywise's hideout, a creepy sewer made out of craft paper and vinyl table cloth to replicate the one in the movie. But every sewer needs a dirty better, and this may have been one of my better ideas yes, only complete with Georgie's jacket floating at the end. Wow. I then connected Nybould Street back to the sewer before having this idea for a coat check, an overgrown path in a dark good area. And here is how it all came out. Guys, I was having a tough time sleeping in this worse. I'm not gonna lie. But stay tuned because next we have the room at the end of the tunnel. This red room is gonna be kind of like a purgatory room with a bunch of missing posters of all my guests and of course the carnival room.
