"I didn't think I was gonna do another one of these videos, but here we are"
And I, for one, am extremely happy that you did another one :)

By the number of comments, I'm guessing I'm not the only one :)

On a related note- THANK you for not making everything black, dark brown, dark greys. Seriously appreciate it.

Old maps ( or aged newer maps), old tables for games and old games displayed. For near the candles - the vintage thing to sniff out the candle. Old brass instruments, old magnifying glass. Because of the cigars - old brass ashtrays, also for displaying trinkets. Piano roll papers. Old stamps (not postal stamps). Old printing trays and letters or letter press. Any kind of old gear, especially metallic, leather bound notebooks and leather cases, pencil cases or rolls, old used painted brushes. Easeals for painting and music paper stands, of course old.
How i love this video ❤❤❤❤

Not sure this comment is exactly appropos to this particular video, but while probably every DA fan acknowledges The Secret History as seminal in the genre, does anyone agree that the works of HP Lovecraft, with his focus on gothic New England settings, academic protagonists, and arcane research esp at Miskatonic University, is quite traceable as an early progenitor of the vibe look and aesthetic of dark academia?? I think its worth a mention. Fascinating how these aesthetics evolve, yet the pedigree remains grounded.

My house, a five bedroom built in 1906 is in DA. Living room and dining room are a dark mystery color sort of a green gray, hard wood floors with Persian rugs and giant over the top lead crystal chandeliers. The drawing room/ study is in a burgundy color with an antler chandelier leather bound books. We still have the kitchen and two bathrooms yet to do. Lots of fun and the house is perfect for DA.

I love the statues! I plan to 3D print one in marble filament “Lady with Veil”

I love this kind of videos and I'm so happy and grateful for part 2. I would actually be happy wih a part 3 as well 👀. Love all the ideas, I'm currently working in my room and making it DA/Hogwarts inspired.

We have a writing desk that the secretary desk reminded me of. I have plans to restore it for years, but the more videos I watch on YouTube/Insta the more I learn and know what to do now. If I did it any sooner I could have ruined it.

Few other pieces around the house that could do with a refresh as well. Yours and Rachel Maksy wallpaper has inspired me to go that direction for the sitting room. Dad was a carpenter so he made the furniture in the 80's. Going to refresh the cabinet, by taking off the huge lip, refresh it and then the shelving is in cubes, so we're removing the "cubes". Just plain long shelves. Top shelf is already like that so the ones below that are the "cubes".
I have a 20L/5 Gallon fish tank, so upgrading that to a 100L/20 Gallon tank and the cabinet is really strong so fish tank is safe on it.

Then we're getting a colourful patterned but dark BG wallpaper for the conservatory. Think birds/animal print. Fill it with plants and the writing desk will be for in here too. We also have an unused shoe cabinet in a similar dark tone for shoe storage and for more plants. We currently use baskets and it looks untidy.

Our house is very cold in WInter so we're meant to be getting new windows, so we have to wait until after that before we redecorate

Wow, my mom was decorating dark academia style before it was a thing. But since the furniture and paint are in whites/ivories/beige, I guess it's more light academia? She was looking for a grandfather clock and a drink serving cart she didn't buy them, but this list reminded me we still need those...Thanks for the fun video!

My gosh you are so gorgeous and also cool and have great taste and an amazing house. So glad I discovered you recently

I was lucky enough to find an oil lamp converted to electric and it's also one of my favorite pieces!

[samantharodriguez]

I love that you created a 2.0 on this topic. It drives me nuts when people talk about DA decor and it’s just a seriously dark colored space with furniture.

When I move, I want my bedroom to be slytherin common room inspired.💚

[TheZeyre]

In the 1990s, I worked with/for a young attorney who was so inspired by Donna Tartt’s “The Secret History, ” he wrote his own book. This attorney is now an author of eight published books of legal thrillers and is an appellate court judge in Illinois. He prosecuted Rod Blagojevich at his impeachment trial and won.

Bookends are on my current thrift hunt list!

H yes, pianos. Be aware that they are easier to acquire than to get rid of! No one wants them anymore, and you may end up having to pay someone to haul it away. Speaking from experience.
