I’m a huge fan of Kat Von D, but love her or hate her, I think we can all agree her house is awesome. She posted this short tour of the weird and wonderful pieces in her home — all handmade by Etsy shop owners and her artist friends — and the objects are rad as hell.
An acoustic phonograph iPod dock; tiny terrariums in lightbulbs; the “antique” keyboard… all among Kat’s goth/Victorian/steampunk decor (the dining room set — oh my godddd). William Morris said: “Have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful,” and Kat seems to agree.
She’s included a list of links for you so you can bogart her style. Oh, and speaking of her style: don’t miss her tour of her gorgeous dressing room and drool-worthy shoe closet!
The doorbell is one of the most amazing things that exists on this planet, period.
wow…. i have to say, not a huge fan of kat von d, but this does make me respect her a bit more. her house is sick!!
I love that saying by Willliam Morris, it is hard to stick by but I am decluttering my life so I can live like that.
“I don’t even knw what this button does but it’s got a skull on it, which s good and important”
I’m not a fan of Kat Von D. But I am a HUGE FAN of her SIC WICKED NUTS AWESOME DEADLY HOUSE!!!!!
The mention of William Morris made me feel all warm and squishy inside. All good things come from this man. He is the savior of functional art/ decor- so check him out (AND the philosophy of the arts & crafts movement) – love me, resident art history geek
She was far less annoying in this video then she is in her show.
I want a door bell like that!! I wonder where she got it?
That doorbell is awesome, I could only aspire to make something as cool as that. I made a Fortune teller that you can pick the mood/attitude of. It can be viewed here: http://youtu.be/ioBKZJC_1GQ . I’m truly humbled by the doorbell though…
I’m a huge fan of Victorian/Steampunk decor and clothing. So many fun things in her house and I love that she’s a patron of Etsy! Like so many here, I would LOVE to have that doorbell!
Kat, I watched your other video on your closet and would love to invite you to visit my etsy shop “The Victorian Flower Child” at Rabbits Run Interiors. I have lots of vintage clothing and accessories as well as upcycled clothing and housewares.
Thanks for allowing us into your incredible home. Blessings!
