Hey! It's Gizmo here.
Hope your having a great day or even week!
I really hope you enjoy this blog post because we're about to get den decorating!
Grab a snack sit back and read.
It's the month of October and you know what that means, it's the season of fall!
Fall is such a beautiful season and although I love all the seasons this one might be one of my top favourites.
I wanted to celebrate this time of year and I couldn't think of a better way to do it than decorating a den!
now, normally I'd just show you the before and after but today I thought we'd work through it together.
first step to making a good den is to have a theme, today our theme is fall.
That brings us to the next step, we need a backstory.
It's always fun to have a backstory to your den it gets you more hyped to decorate and figure out more of the story as you go on.
So, here is what I'm thinking for my backstory:
The den was an old cafe that many jammers would go to for a break from trading, role-playing ect. The den was full of greenery, fresh fruits and happy jammers.
It was a safe place for everyone until one night it wasn't so safe..when all the jammers were sleeping the cafe was found by phantoms! they took over ruining everything and even after they were defeated it was never fixed only forgotten.
Alright, after you have your backstory you want to find a den that suits your story,
I'm going with the Autumn small house. (:
I finish my planning by looking at some den items figuring out what fits with my theme and then I start decorating!
Let's do this!
So, I imagined maybe they'd have little fireflies work there.
They'd bring the tea ,coffee, biscuits and such, idk I really liked that idea!
I also put a few fruit baskets in, as well as the greenery.
I put an easel at the back because I feel like it was a nice calming place to paint.
I put in some books, picnic baskets etc.
Now, I wanted to talk about something that normally happens a lot with me and my decorating..
I normally forget about the theme and get distracted by the story.
The story in this den decoration was mainly about a cafe so I was doing just a cafe forgetting about the fall theme.
But don't worry! I ended up adding fall decorations and a few fall trees some of them are still green because I thought maybe it was still slowly becoming Autumn so the trees weren't there yet.
So, it might look a little messy which I mean..I don't think phantoms are very tidy but, anyways
I changed the trees to either the spooky old trees or the phantom tree stumps which I thought was very fitting.
I scattered pots around as if they'd just eaten all the food? Idk what phantoms eat... hope they liked the coffee and biscuits.
There's spiders, bird poop LOL
I added a big whiteboard I thought the phantoms maybe planned the next attack there.
But yeah, I changed the easel to some paintings that were maybe left behind or maybe the phantoms painted them? XD
This is the thing about decorating, you can make the story up as you go and let your imagination flow.
Anyways, tysm for reading!
Have a great week
PEACE
