9 Easy Ways To Use Dark Paint In Your Home
Doesn't every vampire need a piano for melancholy brooding? Photo: HBO
And I couldn't help but notice vampire Bill Compton's good taste. As a decorator, he's actually pretty good. He seems to have gotten the Southern Gothic look just right (John Derian would sure be proud), mixing antiques in a not-too precious way. He also seems to be really good at lighting (not too bright!), and has a great collection of ancestral portraits and velvet-upholstered sofas -- very George Smith. And is that a Moroccan Berber rug I spotted in Episode Two?

Man, I don't get this constant vampire thing... does everyone see themselves as victims of some all powerful force? Is it the last taboo (since there don't seem to be any left)? What is the fascination?
ReplyJust watch the show, and if you don't like the dark haired vampire you'll like the blond one later on. If romance/sexiness isn't your think than the humor will sustain you. If that doesn't do it for you than the hidden metaphors about every ism you can think of will..... it's not just vampires in this show! Lastly the set designs are fantastic, down to the smallest detail.
