A few years ago, I challenged myself to find a way to bring my darker, more gothic aesthetic, into my Springtime decorating. I had previously avoided any signs of Spring all together, but after finding success in bringing my aesthetic into other holidays and special times of the year, it was time to do the same with Spring. Now, each year I look forward to Spring decorating and finding ways to add gothic elements. This week, after a lot of trial and error, I’m thrilled to have completed these beautiful DIY Black Victorian Gothic Framed Eggs to add to my collection!
