Crooked Grin

Damian Wayne

Your smile shouldn't look like that.

[Reader lives with John Constantine, and is similarly a demonologist and magic user. About 16-18.]

Prompt List // Masterlist (in bio)

"Are you ready to go?"

You turn away from the book on the table, and face him. "Sorry?"

"Are you ready to leave?" he repeats. He leans against the doorjam, arms crossed, clad in black, much like yourself. He doesn't look impatient, but he does look a little anxious.

You cock an eyebrow and shoot him a lopsided grin. "Nervous, Birdy?"

He rolls his eyes as you snap a leather bound journal shut. "Please, I've assisted you before."

You set the book on your dresser. You shoulder a messenger bag on your way to meet him at the door. "Sure, but you already know what I'm up against this time."

"I didn't see it," he argues.

"But you felt it."

He doesn't answer you. Turns away before you can get a proper reaction.

You shut the door behind you, and enter the Wayne Manor. If anyone were to open the door again, it would be an empty closet.

Ah, how you loved your little door trick.

It was fairly simple magic, something you learned quickly. You could simply replace doors—switch one with another, if you will. With a rune and a mumbled phrase, you can make any door lead to any room that has a door you've marked with the same rune.

"Tim's the one who saw it on CCTV."

You stopped in front if the bookcase in Bruce's office, allowing Damian the grand honor of pulling the right book and pulling the hidden door open. "Video footage isn't exactly trustworthy when it comes to paranormal—haven't I told you this before?"

"Probably," he answers, throwing you comical wink.

Now you're the one rolling your eyes. "One if these days, you're gonna wish you listened," you sing, beginning your decent down the metal grate stairs.

He starts down after you. "No I won't." He slows his pace when he's next to you, "Because you'll be there to remind me." Then off he goes, taunting you to chase him clear down to the cave, through the secret hideout, and clear over to the vehicle bay.

You've never liked riding on Damian's bike. Or Robin's bike, rather. You much preferred his Lincoln, all leather seats and metal walls. Though he insisted it would be faster tonight, so you relented. The bike felt less secure, gave you less of a chance if anything were to happen.

Don't misunderstand; Damian is a fantastic driver. You'd rather him behind the wheel than yourself any day. It's more the people in the city he calls home you don't trust.

You've always had a love-hate relationship with Gotham City. You love the dreary atmosphere, the rainy days. You adore the old buildings and even older libraries. You live for the underground, more-than-human clubs and shops peppered throughout the streets.

You hate the crazed clowns, killer plants, and murderous penguins. You despise the snobby people and jacked up prices. You detest the crumbling ruins left to decay alone. Most of all, you abhor the other side of the coin.

Gotham has no shortage of darkness. In its people, under its streets, below the waters, above the rooftops. Though it sends a shockwave of thrill through you, the danger only you seem to be aware of is forever just around the corner. From ghouls to vampires to demons to dark witches, Gotham is crawling with things darker than its skies.

You, if course, stay in your lane unless absolutely necessary. Demons, ghosts, angels. That's your specialty, after all.

You're who the Bat Gang calls when things get a little too weird. Your father figure isn't one to drop and run at anybody's beck and call (except, perhaps, yours), so you're the one who gets the call first. You don't conplain—you enjoy the practice.

Damian slows and steers the bike off the backstreet, into the tiny parking lot of a little abandoned church. Little, meaning most likely one big room, and maybe a backroom and a bathroom at the end of the building.

He twists the key and silences the engine, one foot anchored on the asphalt, then removes his helmet.

You unwind your arms from his torso, lifting off your helmet as you slide off the machine behind him. You stare up at the stark white building and the wide brown mounted to the front of it. "How long has it been empty?" you inquire.

He dismounts the motorcycle and pockets his keys. His eyes find the same spot yours have: the busted glass of the front door. "Three weeks."

You turn to him, incredious. "Three weeks? Really?" You face the building again, studying the sprawling vines and waist-high grass by the playground, the chipping paint and the grimy windows.

In the light if dusk, it wasn't a place you'd want to find yourself on any Sunday morning.

"Three weeks," you breathe. You steal another minute or so to run through your mental database. What causes such decay so quickly? What was powerful enough to take residency in a church?

You head up to the doors, treading over busted asphalt and shattered glass and dry leaves on your way. Damian follows you closely, peering around at the surrounding buildings and streets.

The streetlights flicker on behind you, but you're too busy trying to get a good look at the inside before opening the doors to notice.

You try the handles first. It doesn't budge. You don't want to risk irritating whatever is inside before you're ready, so you duck down and carefully slip through the bottom pane of the left door, which had been shattered. Outwardly, you note. Whatever broke the glass came from inside, leaving the shards of glass scattered on the sidewalk.

Damian hesitates before he follows you. His muscles tighten the moment he crosses the threshold.

Beyond a short hallway consisting of three flimsy doors, you find the sanctuary. It's laden with over turned or broken pews, stained red carpet, and papers and pamphlets scattered all around.

Damian joins you in the middle of the isle a moment after your entrance, footsteps muffled by the thick red carpet. "The two doors on the end of the hall are bathrooms. I didn't see much there, besides some blood splatter in one of the sinks."

You nod, gaze shifting around the alter. "What about the far end? Have you been in that one yet?"

"No," he answers, "but if the other two were bathroom, it's most likely an office or a kitchenette."

You point to the far end of the sanctuary, at a door looming in the corner. "That's the office, I bet." You turn to face the entrance doors. "Let's check the door in the hall first, that one over there's giving me a bad vibe."

He follows you to hall, but you make him wait by the sanctuary doors.

When you nudge open the ajar door with the toe of your boot, Damian's suspicions are confirmed. A slim white refrigerator, four feet of vinal counter top, and a shallow sink. The only thing out-of-the-ordinary is the rancid stench and the cock-eyed chair by the window.

You dig out a maglight from your messenger bag and click it on. Light floods the dim room as you wave it around, gliding over counter tops and in open cubords. "Nothing in here," you report absently, fingers hooking around the refrigerator handle. You yank it open, just as a precaution.

You gasp suddenly, more out of shock than fright. You puff out your cheeks with the excess air, staring down the red and white mess caught in your flashlight beam with high eyebrows. "Found what's making that smell."

"What?" Damian stalks into the room, posture tense and guarded.

You press the door closed to save him the scaring image of three dead, mutilated chickens and a severed cat head. "Some sacrifices, apparently. Looks like they've been in here for a few days, maybe. A week, at the most."

He tries to look again, but you slam the door too quick and push him out of the room.

You know he's seen far worse, and frankly so have you, but one less thing to pop up in nightmares could make all the difference.

The pair of you make your way back through the hall and down the sanctuary aisle, to the flimsy wooden door at the very back, behind the podium and the alter.

However, your gait hitches a few feet yards away. You stick out your arm to stop Damian.

He looks to you for an explanation, but you don't hear his question.

You're too busy skimming the room with your eyes. The air seems to cool around you, raising the hairs on the back of your neck. You mentally recite the hand motions and spell for a barrier rune, just in case.

The streetlight outside flickers six times exactly, before it goes out completely.

The room is considerably darker now, leaving shadows to dance upon every wall, to whisper in your ears, to nip at your ankles.

Your growing paranoia gets the better of you, and you jump closer to Damian as your light darts in the direction of quiet crunch, eyes narrowed.

A gray cat scurries out of the way of your light, skinny and panicky.

You exhaled slowly, light beam passing through the room one more time before you turned back around.

Damian knows better to comment on it. Not that he would have—he just thanks his lucky stars you jumped, too.

You hook your index finger with his before you move forward, beam still highlighting all areas within close proximity to the door.

Shielding rune and defensive spells fresh in your mind, you waste no time in opening the door. You bypass the formality of the knob this time, and decide instead to kick it wide open.

The handle crashes against the wall, thundering echo bouncing trough both rooms. You search the ceiling thuroughly before entering, sure to hit every inch of the textured surface with the beam of your light.

When you are confident there's nothing hiding there, you move past the threshold cautiously. As you tightly swing your light around the room, a story unfolds.

This room, that appears to an office with cheap bookshelves of holy literature and a desk right out of an Ikea magazine, more closely resembled a warzone. Books strung throughout the room, some flipped over, some split open, some with pages in taters, and some with their covers ripped clean off.

The windows on the north and west side are so thick with spiderwebbing fractures, neither of you are able to see through them properly. The carpeting is shredded in random places, as if wild cats had been set loose to ruin it. You look back to the windows, at the curtains, and wonder if that could possibly exactly what's happened here. But with a spotlight on the paintings and pictures on the wall, you decide that cats have nothing to do with it.

You approach one of the paintings slowly, light focused on the face of what you guess is Mother Mary. Your mental check has you listening to Damian's boots crunching on discarded pages as you observe the hollow place where her face should be.

"Look at this."

You turn away from the image at Damian's call. You find him in you beam, crouched in the middle of the room, hunched over an open book, his micro light poised between his thumb and his index finger.

"What is it?" you inquire, crossing the room to lean over his shoulder.

"There are words written in this one." He points to the red, black, and blue circles highlighting specific words.

"It was very swift?" You squint at the page. "Why would you use three different pens for that?"

He shakes his head. "We're investigating a possible demon and you're questioning why somebody would use different pens in a book?"

You roll your eyes once again. "Firstly, you should always assume poltergeist before demon, and secondly, who do you know that would make any kind of mark on a book in a church?"

"Point taken." He stands, waving his light around by the wall you'd come in by. "Closet."

You turn again to find where his light is pointed. "Awesome," you heave, stalking toward the feeble sliding door. You motion Damian away from its direct path, positioning yourself on the opposite side.

In one swift motion, you jerk it open.

"Shit!" You jump away as a man falls out, his head hitting the floor with an awful thud.

"I really hate closets," you hiss, pulling the high neck of your shirt up over your mouth and nose, the stench tumbling out with him.

With his shirt fitting the way it does, Damian is left only with a sneer and his hand.

You narrow your eyes and refocus your beam on the mystery man. With your boot, you roll him over.

Black button down, white collar, brass belt.

"Preacher," you announce. You take a closer look at his face. Bald head, strangely proportioned features. "A weird one, though. Looks more like he belongs in a trenchcoat at a playground."

Damian nods, fearing that if he opened his mouth, he'd have to taste the smell of rotting skin.

"What exactly were you doing here, buddy?" you ask aloud, half expecting an answer. When none comes, you look to Damian again. "I would say it was just straight up murder—maybe a robbery-gone-wrong—but this guy doesn't have any marks.

A look passes over your face, as if you've just reminded yourself of something. "Get me a pencil off the desk."

Damian creeps the short distance back through books and scattered paper in the now pitch black room, relying heavily on his tiny (yet impressively bright) flashlight to keep him from tripping on anything.

At the desk, he reaches across it for a pencil from a plain white cup, but stops short when his gaze snags on a book spread open there.

Thick black lines scrawling across thick, yellowing paper that alarmingly resembled dried skin, thin and black red letters in a language he only vaguely recognized. He could only guess a few words; that one could be blood, this one might be chicken, over there could be human. He knows better than to touch the book at all.

He returns to you quickly, though you're already looking at him. He holds a sharpened No. 2 pencil out to you. "When you're finished with him, there's something you should look at."

You accept the pencil, flipping it in your hand so you were using the eraser for whatever you were planning to do with it. "What is it?"

He watches you gently press the eraser to the preacher's eyelid. His brows furrow, but he doesn't ask. "It's a book. The pages don't look like paper, and I don't recognize the language. It's partly Latin." He grimances as you carefully push one eyelid open. There is no eye, only a round black, coal-like stone. "And some runes, or something alike."

You turned to look over your shoulder at him. "Really?" You look back down at was once an eyeball. You're quiet during your examination, poking your way all around the poor man's face.

Damian stands at the preacher's opposite shoulder, watching from above. He doesn't ask what you're looking for. As whip smart as he is and as quickly as he learns, he gets lost in the centuries-old homemade terms and lack of scientific logic.

Finally, you stand. "He's been possessed," you concur. "The skin's gone cold, so it's been a least a week. And the rot in his mouth is pretty progressed, so it's probably been a little over that." You meet his eyes in the dark, as if you're expecting something.

"I don't have any intent to ask, beloved."

You bob your head with a little smile. "Fair enough. Desk, then?"

"Desk."

You follow him back across the room again. You lean over the surface, pointing the wide beam down on the old book. You kept attentive to how close you were to the edge of the desk, as well as how far your many necklaces and bracelets hung above the miscellaneous items and papers strung about the flat wood.

"This is an old language, one of the original ones the first demonologists and occult studiers used to record everything and communicate with each other—"

"Why did they need a separate language?"

You kept your gaze focused on the open page. "Most serious demonology—outside of Bible stuff—and focused paranormal study started around the same time people were called witches for curing sicknesses, Dame."

"Ah."

"Anyway, I'll stop boring you with the history lesson. It's basically a mashup of Latin, Greek, and little freestyling."

"Can you read it?"

"Yeah, I read stuff like this in the House Of Magic's library pretty often. It's similar to what is used in modern day demonology."

You squint down at the page, scrutinizing the dull lettered lines. Damian noted that you weren't blinking.

"It's . . . It's labeled as an invocation, but it's a summoning." Your eyebrows gather above your nose. "Which is pretty obvious, considering–"

"(Y/N), as much as I adore hearing you talk about the things that interest you, what exactly does it summon?"

You fall silent, eyes darting further down the page, to the two intricate symbols scribed there. Finally, you announce, "Crossroads demon—for making deals. But it doesn't make sense, because crossroads demons don't need this much, uh, drama."

"What does that mean?" A creak echos from the sanctuary. He moves quickly and quietly, back to the door to see what's caused it.

You speak a little louder to be sure he can hear you. "Well, a crossroads ritual is so much simpler than this, and you don't need any kind of rune, symbol, or anything, really. As basically as I can put it, you put a box in the dirt and beg for it to work." You grab your longest necklace in your hand and pull it away from the desk, allowing you to lean closer to the book without the programed stone touching the desk. "And this right here would mean–"

You eyebrows unfurrow immediately. That would mean I summon thee to take my soul. Your eyes dart wildly across the page, rereading and rechecking every letter of the old text.

That isn't the right center for a crossroads demon.

You mentally run through everything but of information you'd compiled since last night, when Tim had shown you the footage.

You bounded down the stairs, Damian on your heels, as you chattered on about Constantine's rotten habits and The House's typical invasions of privacy.

"Speak of the devil." Tim throws you a cocky, yet oh-so-tired grin.

You jump the last three grate steps, landing with a hard thump on the cement. "Close, but not quite," you laughed, sauntering over to join him at the massive blue screen. "What can I do for ya, Trombone?"

His eyebrows slant together in annoyance at the aged nickname. You try to play a trombone one time—one time. "Found this yesterday," he grits. His pinky tags the tab button, just as Damian joins you.

The black and white CCTV clip is taken from a security camera, focused on the building across the street. Nothing seems to be happening.

You lean closer to the screen. Maybe you're missing something? You doubt it's a prank, considering the last time they tried to jumpscare you. Your gaze bounces around to all the windows and the doors, the dark corners and the shadowed strips.

Then, out of the blue, the three streetlights bordering the parking lot and accompanying sidestreet flicker off. Then on again, then off.

You blink. Squint. "Rewind it."

The footage speeds backward a few seconds, then takes proper motion again. You focus on the windows. A shadow moves just inside the door. "Right there," you point at the glass entry doors. "Go back and watch the edge of the left door."

The accelerated decay of the property.

The dead animals in the kitchen.

The intact cross.

The flickering streetlight.

Possessed priest.

This is for something far stronger.

You pull away from the table and shoot forward, nearly tripping over an outstretched arm. "Damian!" you bellow, stumbling out into the sanctuary.

He's halfway down the isle, flashlight swinging to face you in surprise. "What?"

You run through the room to close the gap between you, beam of light cutting through pitch black empty space, peeling back inky air from the ruined room. Paranoia swells in your chest, knowing something was looming in the shadows so close to him.

He subconsciously reaches out and grasps your arm. "What's wrong?"

You're still steadily searching the room with your light. "It isn't a crossroads demon, it's worse, it's bigger, it's meaner. We should go back to The House, regroup, get some tougher stuff."

"What do you mean?" Now he's skimming the room with his light. "What is it?"

You shake your head. "That's the bad part, it wasn't specific, so I don't know for sure."

"For sure. What do you guess it is?"

"Educated guess?" You flick your light behind you. "Fourth ring—bad news."

"Aren't all demons bad news?"

"Not the ones you can reason with."

You both spin on your heels to face the crashing commotion by the entrance. Your light caught it just in time to see pages settle on the ground around a newly over turned pew.

"We're leaving," you state firmly, pushing against Damian, a silent order to move your ass.

His light must have hit every edge of the room as he creeps forward, step by step, toward the entrance of the sanctuary. You walk backward behind him, keeping your eyes from settling on one thing for too long.

When the pannel doors slam shut with enough force to knock the remaining photographs and painting off the wall, you feel the pressure of Damian not only stopping, but jerking back a step against your back.

Your beam settles on the office doors. "The doors shut?"

"Yes."

"Did you hear the lock?"

"Watched it."

"Fuck."

"Shit."

You move your beam to the podium. Then the fractured statue of Jesus nailed to a cross on the furthest wall. The head and arms had been broken off, laying sadly at his sides.

"Damian?"

"Yes?"

"We're going back to the office."

"Obviously." He spins around to stand at your side. "I'm far more comfortable with the remains of the living than the presence of the dead."

"Not really the dead, but I know what you mean."

You lead the way down the main isle, light skimming and skipping through the room as you went. You listen intently, for any sound that might tip you off to intentions or locations. Demons lower (or higher, depending on how you looked at it) than a Sixth Circle require a body to walk the living plane. If you're right, there must be a form of some kind around here some place. A physical body.

You reach out absently, hooking your index finger around his pinky. You've had people and things snatched away in silence before, and you weren't about to let it happen to Damian.

He doesn't say anything. No typical snide remarks or well thought jabs. The first few times he'd accompanied you to an exorcism or a hunt, he'd been just as cocky and arrogant as the day you met him. He'd laughed when you whipped out a canister of table salt.

The third time, though, he'd been pinned to a wall by something he couldn't see or feel. He couldn't fight it, couldn't intimidate it, couldn't distract it.

He never mocked a thing about your practice after that.

Another crash echoes from the left side of the room, drawing both of your attention. Your light finds the broken crucifix, now toppled over and laying across the podium it knocked over on it's way down. Your light lingers.

"Go ahead into the room," you poke a thumb in the direction of the open door. "Set Carl back up in the closet, if you don't mind."

"Carl?" Damian edges his way back to the open door, using your favorite tactic of keeping an eye on him. If he was still talking to you, odds are, he's just fine.

"Yeah, I named the poor guy. Didn't want to offend him with that dead dude on the floor." You creep closer to the crucifix.

"And you chose Carl because. . ?" he pushes the door the rest of the way open, the creak bouncing off the walls, throwing the sound in every direction.

You kick a shredded Bible out of the way. "Just what came off the top of my head," you answered honestly. You shift your gaze from the broken religious symbol to the surrounding area, just to make sure.

"What about Davis?" He sets his little flashlight between his teeth to free his hands. He hesitates, but hooks his hands under the dead man's shoulders, grips his shirt, and lifts him back to a near-standing position.

"No way, look at the stubble of his chin. No Davis would let it get that bad."

He stuffs the body back into the closet with as much grace and pride as he can manage. He shoves the door shut double checks the latch to make sure it doesn't swing open with the added weight. "Mark?"

"No way." You nudge the wooden cross with the toe if your boot. It must weight at least seventy pounds, and it from the six inch industrial screws on the back of it, it was bolted to the wall. "Not with hair that thin."

He shakes his head. What to talk about now? "Find anything out there?"

"Not yet." You crouch, running a hand over the carved robe.

He sweeps the room with his light again. But this time, it catches on the farthest corner from the door.

His heart leaps. His spine stiffens, his blood runs cold.

It's staring right at him.

His mind reels, grappling for something—anything—you've mentioned about dealing with a demon face to face.

He's panicking. Why is he panicking? He works well under pressure, one might even say best. Why now? He feels terror grip his heart, and his breath is coming and going in short, silent bursts. Terror floods his mind—but why?

Why, why, why?

He was raised for this sort of thing, groomed for it even. He's never reacted this way before–

It's a demon, he reminds himself, through muddied thoughts of escape plans and defensive manuevers.

It's got to be messing with him. He remembers you mentioning things like this, both in idle conversation and over sparring.

He does his best to push it away, keep the blood rushing in his ears at a manageable level.

What does he do?

Does he yell for you? Will that startle it, or push it to action? Should he make a break for it? Is there even a chance he could get to you before it gets to him?

What if he takes you from the equation entirely? What can he do? Can he hit it? He can see it now, mostly, at least. What about shielding himself?

"Damian?" Your voice sounds like church bells ringing on a dark and foggy morning.

There's his out, if all else fails. You'll be coming to check on him in a few seconds if he doesn't answer, and he's finding speaking more difficult than usual anyway.

He tears his eyes from the piercing red and orange globes hanging in font of a foggy face. An old, dogeared bible lays on the floor. Surely that would do something.

"Hey, Dame. Everything good?" He doesn't hear anymore movement from you. You sound more focused. "Damian?"

He holds his breath. Counts to five. Releases. Counts to five. Another breath.

"Damian, I swear if you're just too focused to listen to me. . ." Your warning trails off as you draw closer. Out of the corner of his eye, he sees you moving around the corner, coming through the doorway, and then you stop.

He doesn't look away from the thing in the corner. He knows you're looking at it. He knows, because you haven't called his name again.

He nearly jumps and your voice, cold and level. "You nasty bastard."

The thing's glittering orange irises slide slowly to you. The rest if it doesn't move.

He takes the diverted attention to get a better look at it.

It looks like a man—all the pieces are there, the arms, the legs, the hands, the feet—but it just looks wrong. Like. Poorly designed animated character that was meant to resemble a real person, but was just off enough to be nearly unrecognizable.

And the face. It was distorted in an indescribable way. He could almost pick out the details—a nose, a mouth, even eyebrows—but it was like they were just out of sight. Like looking through a foggy mirror, but the air was perfectly clear.

"What brought you to Gotham, then?" you question.

Damian tries to sneak a step backward. You're only a few feet away, and if he can get to you, you'll be able to tell him what to do. Give him something to hit with.

Unfortunately, the discarded papers and books scattered along the floor expel any and every chance of stealth he thought he had.

Orange irises flicker yellow and snap back his way, and he finds himself unable to look away. Panic is starting to rise again when you take two daring steps sideways.

"Hey, what the hell, man? We were having a conversation, you know. It's rude to look away when someone's talking to you." You're only a foot away from blocking him entirely.

It's eyes are back on yours now.

"As I was saying, what brought you 'round this side of town?" Damian sees your hand sliding into your back pocket. "Thought you'd be up in the skyscrapers, ya know, with the big dogs in fat ties with fatter checks." You slide on a pair of knuckles.

Damian shifts his weight. You're about to charge it, he can read it from your body language. As loudly as his instincts are screaming, he knows he'll only be in the way if he stays where he is. His best bet is to at least get out to the sanctuary, so you can get your job done without worrying about where he is.

You're both silent for exactly two seconds. Muscles curled tight, like wild animals waiting for the right time to strike.

Then, in barley a blink, you're leaping forward, words of a dead language flying off your tongue, bring orange shapes he doesn't register encasing your hands. He's swerving behind you, slipping on papers in his rush for the door.

He speeds around the first row of pews, and takes the farthest left right isle. He makes it to the double doors at the back of the room, before discovering that the doors are still very firmly locked. Thankfully, the doors were cheap and easily gave way to Damian's forceful convention.

He shoves one side the rest of the way open, and discovers exactly why such a task was so difficult in the first place.

The dining table from the kitchen had been lodged in the doorjam.

He blows out a breath when the leg catches on the wall of the hallway. It's not going to open without shattering that table leg, which he doesn't have time for.

You let out an angry shout, shoving forward the spinning, glowing sigil you're using to shield yourself from the demon's razor-like fingertips.

You thrust it through the doorway of the office, quickly pinning it down on an upright pew.

Damian swears under his breath and ducks past the doors, opting instead for a more stable place to hold his ground, should things get as bad as they were looking.

The room is nearly pitch black, both his and your flashlights abandoned in the office, providing the smallest amount of light to the most obvious parts of the room. The only other sources of light are your magic and your eyes, both a mesmerizing shade of dark orange, glowing fiercely in contrast to the stale dark air surrounding you.

There were times when those glowing irises were a calming, steadying presence; something to lean against to keep himself grounded.

This is not one of those times.

At the moment, he's hunkered down behind a church pew, waiting for you to tell him to do something, watching sparks of magic fly around the room as you battle against a demon you weren't entirely prepared for. The great room is filled with encantations in a language he doesn't care to understand and ungodly shrills and growls.

Then, he hears a pained shriek so deafening and strangely pitched, his hands involentarily fly up to cover his ears.

The room goes quiet and still, papers settling back on the cheap red carpet, dust finding it's way back down to the wooden surfaces.

He peers over the edge of the church pew once more, eyes flicking through the whole room in a near desperate search for that orange glow. It couldn't have been you that made that noise, could it?

Finally, he finds two tiny, bright orange circles flickering around the room as well. The palms of your hands still have a soft glow to them, in the fuzzy outlines of your veins.

"Damian, where'd you go?" Your voice is level—you aren't worried. You know he didn't go far enough that you couldn't be heard.

It always left him just a bit tender in the chest when you reminded him just how well you knew him. "Right here," he beckons, straightening out and picking his way back across the room to the doors, where the dim beams of the streetlights out side have away his outline.

You start up the isle immediately, eyes still piercing the darkness. "Do you want to go get your light?"

He doesn't answer you right away. "My–? No, I have more at home. What happened to the demon?"

"Killed it," you answer dryly. "Or mostly did, anyway. Either way, we better go before we find out."

He's about to follow you back up the rest of the way to the doors, but stops halfway. "Wait, I do need something from that office."

You turn to ask what is, but he's already running back down the main isle. Your grip tightens on the strap of your messenger bag, the same strap that had been sliced in two at some point during your little skirmish. Eyes dart around the great room. You raise your maglight again, and click it back on. You'd gotten yours from the office, but Damian's was too small for you to waste much time looking for it. You point it after him, and when he vanishes into the mostly dark room, you direct it to the darkest edges of the room. When you're satisfied, you pinch the light between your jaw and your shoulder, drop your bag, and set your hands to work with moving that blasted table out of the way.

You've just about got it completely clear when the sound of the office door reaches you. You turn halfway, just to check. And then, your heart drops along with your flashlight. It feels like the floor's given out from under you when your light catches him.

You start to shout, but the words get caught in your throat. Your hands twitch and suddenly the world seems like it's slipped into slow motion.

Then, your knees are bending and the rubber soles of your boots claw against the carpet. Your rushing toward him, but it doesn't feel fast enough.

Faster, faster, faster.

Your heart is palpitating and your mind is reeling already, and all you can hear is the premonition his screams.

You come to a near-screeching halt in the tiny space between your lover and the charging black mass, fully intending to push him clean to the exit, eyes hardly focused before it happens—

Something hits you, hard, fast, and cold. Your eyes roll back and ice shoots through your veins, you can feel it, and the pain is overwhelming as you stumble backwards with the world spinning around you and—

Damian feels it in his chest before he sees it. Heavy and tight. He spins around, though it takes a measure of courage and willpower, because he has a feeling he knows what's happened, but he doesn't want to see it.

You're a few feet away, crumpled, hunched in on yourself as you sit on your knees, between two intact pews. Your back heaves with every strangled breath. Your hands are out of view, pressed firmly against the rough red in front of you to anchor yourself.

"(Y/N)?" He braves a step or two forward. "What happened?"

You don't answer.

Chills rush over him in waves. The temperature in the air hadn't been in any way warm to begin with, but his breath billows out into the stream of light from the flashlight he'd managed to pick up on his way out of the office. He tries your name again, and this time, you side to your feet.

You don't stand, mind you, so much as levitate gently until your feet are beneath you. You turn very slowly, with jagged and barely controlled movements.

You grin widely at him, but it's crooked and too sharp at the ends. It reaches tour eyes, sure, but really wishes it didn't.

Part 2; but I can't link it because Tumblr is still being a bitch with links. I am so sorry. If you go to profile, it should be the first post until further notice. 🙄

because Tumblr apparently has a limit of 250 text blocks per post

Types of Bedrooms

Suburban Beach: Lamp next to the sofa isn’t connected to the switch but you’re used to all the light, extra pillows for friends if they sleep over, satin millennial pink sheets that clash perfectly with the peach velvet sofa, pictures in white mismatching frames cover the walls, Tiffany Blue walls, white window sheers tied back, French closet doors permanently flung open, clean enough to have friends over if they don’t mind stepping over the bra on the floor, queen four poster canopy bed in ash, you did tell anyone you wanted the feel of a Caribbean sunset because it was your favorite family vacation when you were all still together

Tournament Oasis: Three shelves of trophies and ribbons from age three up, green flannel sheets that haven’t been washed for three months at least, one of the closet doors doesn’t close because it fell out of the track and you’re too lazy to be active when you could rather be sleeping, off white walls, full mattress without a headboard or a frame actually... desk lamp is in the shape of a football you mom got you as a joke when you made varsity, even when the room is spotless it still smells like a locker room, windows have blinds that have never been used because the neighbors don’t have a window facing your room, one pillow that somehow always ends up on the floor in the middle of the night, sometimes you lay in bed staring at the ceiling and don’t want to leave because you’re worn out from trying to be the best and never knowing if you are

Average Dorm: The only thing you managed to hang before the semester started was a periodic table chart because you thought it was cool it glowed in the dark, IKEA had a sale on twin extra long and you bought three sets to last between laundry days, wall colour hasn’t changed since the last time the school pained them in ‘88, blinds in the room haven’t worked since ‘91, closet space just fits one-fifth of your total wardrobe, gave up bringing a normal pillow in favour of a back pillow for bed so you can do homework in bed and your roommate can sleep, top bunk all the way, the only hope of passing sophomore year it might come with a murder charge if your roommate doesn’t stop snoring, bypass the lightswitch and turn on the desk lamp, you named the roaches who live next door but visit you from time to time

Post Mod: People have told you that the bright white walls remind them of a psych ward but you like that they look clean, track lighting run along half the walls but they’re so bright they are angled to shine off of a reflective surface so the whole room doesn’t glow, crisp set of solid 50% grey sheets, black bed frame because it off set the room just right, five pillows the small decorative one is for achieving the right body angle to read in bed, glass door to a walk-in closet off of the master bathroom, the original white shears were actually ivory so they were replaced with grey ones to match the bedding, mirrors adorn the walls for the lighting situation not for vanity and catching your reflection in the mirror makes you feel like you don’t match your room, the younger siblings aren’t invited in if there’s food involved, seriously considering getting a plant to give the room some colour but it might ruin the aesthetic

Expert Gamer: Your parents allowed you to have free reign of the basement and you sealed the cement floor with acid green epoxy, black sheets that weren’t put back on the bed since laundry day because you tend to fall asleep in your gaming chair, practically factory fresh memory foam that you adore after too many nights in the fighting seat, walls are still exposed cement but one solid row of arcade games serves as decoration enough, Mom said you don’t see the sun enough so you set up a live cam to feed to a monitor mounted on the wall next to your bed and she didn’t bug you again, original lighting was pretty sparse so you ran up some track lighting that bounces off the floor an makes the whole place glow, everything you own hangs from the exposed rafters on wire hangers, two pillows one for head support while asleep and one for lumbar support while sitting, never quite understand why everyone expects you to live in a mound of wrappers and crushed cans because you definitely don’t because that’s gross, you can be yourself or anyone else here

Bohemian Eclectic: Dinosaur print sheets you found in the bargain bin somewhere, light switch turns on Christmas lights that line the ceiling in place of central lighting, instead of piles of clothes you have piles of books littering the floor, most of the walls are a magenta but one wall is painted with chalkboard paint, got rid of your bed a few years ago when you bought a giant beanbag, the only pillows in the room are the floor pillows you use to sit at the coffee table, collectable movie posters of cult classics cover most of the walls and a hole that mysteriously appeared one day, closet is filled with more bolts of fabric than finished pieces and the sewing machine that you found at a resale place for a fraction of the actual cost, a large swatch of lace is used for the window shear, you were able to find a mini-fridge from the 70’s at Goodwill but you haven’t cleaned out a spot close enough to an outlet to actually use it

Summer Sunshine: Everything has its place even if the place happens to be covered in dog hair, cobalt blue and white chevron duvet with matching polka dot sheet set, honeysuckle yellow walls, closet doors are littered with stickers like one giant scrapbook page, classic daybed, there are a mound of pillows you sleep nested between except for the dog pillow that one stays on the floor, bay window with even more pillows, framed pictures of water colour flowers, daisy shaped night-light because you feel so alone in the dark, this is the space you can actually feel at home

Green Science: Your room is a literal zoo but it’s fine because you hydroponically grow your own lettuce to feed most of the animals, Repurposed a whitewashed door as a headboard, one pillow for sleeping and one decorative pillow with a science meme on it, mismatched set of sheets from a garage sale, walls are mostly blue but it fades to a blue/white ceiling that looks like a cloud, most of the time you don’t use your lights because there’s enough coming from the heating lamps in the reptile and amphibian tanks, closet is stuffed to keep the rest of the room as open as possible, window coverings were removed to allow for easy access to the solar panels mounted outside, the only exposed wall is covered with a cork board of environmental science articles and diagrams for building solar powered electric cars, once the habit was set caring about everything didn’t take as much time as you thought it would

World Traveler: Closet is half empty because most of your clothes are still packed in suitcases, solid frame supporting a full mattress, simple white sheets nothing too fancy, ice blue and navy two tone walls and silver accents, over head light is from a place in Europe that you had shipped back and re wired because you loved it so much, blinds are perpetually left closed out of habit from not wanting anyone to break in while you’re gone, there’s a bookcase on one wall filled with books and collectables from all your trips one shelf for every continent, plushies cover most of the bed but there is one actual pillow in there somewhere, power strip with two phone chargers and a laptop charger, for as much as you call this home it really is just a place to keep a collection from the pieces of home you’ve found around the world

Aspiring Rocker: Closet doors are miss matched and well worn and dad was going to paint them then forgot but that’s fine you don’t mind the way they look, the one outside facing wall is covered in band posters and VIP passes, walls are covered in egg carton foam as sound baffling but it makes the silence feel so close, hand me down twin bunk bed set with a converted lower bunk to a desk, you are forced to empty your garbage daily because everyone is convinced the ants are coming from your room, at one point the sheets resembled a Scottish tartan, only one pillow but you don’t use it because you sleep on your front and feel like you’re suffocating if you use it, the only lighting in your room comes from a ceiling fan missing one of the three bulbs, the blinds used to close until a giant knot showed up but no one’s complained at seeing you change, room looks like the stereotypical garage band moved in even though you make enough off of iTunes royalties to move out on your own

Hello, my wonderful friends! How are you today? I am truly happy to start slowing down this week and start my kids’ back-to-school shopping. Doing it for three kids isn’t an easy task, but I will try to have some fun. Now, let’s focus on this new “Interior Design Ideas”.

Built by Timber Trails Development Company and with interiors by the talented Julie Howard (previously featured here – a must-see post!), here, here, here, here, here & here), this beautiful home is an east coast inspired home located in Western Springs, a suburb about 20 miles outside of Chicago. The home’s exterior commands attention with it’s stately tower topped with X details on the windows. Inside the tower is a three story floating staircase that has a marvelous view of the chandelier above. When you enter the front door, a long hallway lined with mercury glass lanterns leads you to the open concept kitchen and family room where a built-in banquette steals the show because of its leaded glass windows.

Beautiful Homes of Instagram: Modern Farmhouse

If you’ve read the blog for awhile or follow me on Instagram and Pinterest, you will recognize these names very fast! Builder Timber Trails Development Company and interior designer Julie Howard have been featured on Home Bunch more than anyone else and it’s very easy to see why I love having them on my platforms. They’re talented, innovative and they’re open to sharing all the sources with you guys, which is always helpful, right?!

Here, the interior designer shares some details about this home:

“The inspiration behind our Timber Trails Refined Rustic was the main hallway running down the length of the house. We knew we wanted natural alder beams with shiplap behind. We wanted the feel of the house to be masculine as we had just finished this same floor plan as a beach house. We wanted to give this plan a whole new feel with some dark moody moments among the overall light and natural feel of the home. The dark paint on the doors as well as the centrally located buffet catch your eye and draw you in.” – Julie Howard.

Before we start seeing this Modern Farmhouse, I strongly recommend you guys bookmark these other inspiring homes built by Timber Trails Development Company. These house tours are filled with information and sources:

Design Classics Every Man Should Own

We all want a nice home. Or at least something that doesn’t look like the ‘before’ photos of a renovation show. Like your wardrobe, you could throw money at every interior design trend and hope for the best, but you’d soon have to remortgage your house before you’d filled it with furniture.Undeniably, the best approach is to go after the true icons: design classics with enduring style and lasting practicality. The stuff that looks good, feels good and does good.To that end, we’ve put our heads together to generate a list of design pieces that outlast the trends. From timeless kitchenware to cameras, this is the stuff no man should be without.Eames Lounge ChairWhen designing the Eames Lounge Chair (and its companion ottoman), trailblazing husband-and-wife design duo Charles and Ray Eames were said to have taken their cue from a well-used baseball mitt. Thankfully, while it’s undoubtedly as comfortable as one, it’s a hell of a lot better looking. You can still buy the chair, and ottoman, from Herman Miller, the company the Eames designed it for, parking in one of 20th-century furniture design’s most memorable home runs in the process.Pub Quiz Fact: Charles Eames and his friend Eero Saarinen entered a prototype Eames Lounge Chair in the 1940 New York Museum of Modern Art’s Organic Furniture Competition, which they won (naturally).Buy Now: £3994.00Anglepoise 1227 LampEver been looking down at your watch, caught sight of your arm and thought ‘that’d make a great lamp’? Of course you haven’t, because you’re not George Carwardine. More than 85 years ago, the British automotive engineer devised the Anglepoise 1227, the world’s first four-spring balanced-arm lamp (which you’ll know either from the opening credits of Pixar films); a mechanism that’s still the gold standard today.Pub Quiz Fact: Anglepoise also sells giant versions of the 1227 Lamp, originally created for the Roald Dahl Museum, measuring almost nine feet tall.Buy Now: £195.00Leica CameraSure, your smartphone suffices for amateur endeavours, but serious shutterbugs need something that works as well as it looks. Leica was the camera manufacturer behind the first viable 35mm camera (the Leica I, which changed photography forever) and some of the photographers of modern history’s most iconic portraits (including that Che Guevara shot you had on your wall as a spotty teenager). Today it continues as the market leader in developing gear that’s as functional as it is beautifully formed.Pub Quiz Fact: In 2012, a prototype which lead to the first Leica camera sold at auction for £1.9m, setting a new world record.Buy Now: £850.00George Nelson Ball ClockLike blue suede brogues, George Nelson’s Ball Clock is an ideal way to add some personality to an all-time classic. The timepiece was first produced in 1948 when Nelson updated a wide array of everyday objects with the aim of bringing modern design into American homes, and has since become the iconic symbol of 1950s Americana. Missing a pop of colour? Opt for the orange version.Pub Quiz Fact: George Nelson revealed that the Ball Clock’s quirky appearance came as a result of drinking too much with fellow artists and designers including Isamu Noguchi, Bucky Fuller, and Irving Harper (who later claimed to have been the brains behind it).Buy Now: £300.00The Penguin Donkey By IsokonDesigned in the late 1930s, the original Donkey was so-called because of its four legs and two side shelf compartments (their form resembling the haul carried by an animal). But don’t worry, no fury creatures were harmed in the making of this bookcase, redesigned by Ernest Race in the 1960s with a more modern, linear form. The talking point in owning one? They’re all still handmade using traditional woodworking methods in an East London workshop.Pub Quiz Fact: The compartments of the Donkey were designed to be the perfect size to store Penguin paperbacks.Buy Now: £595.00Bialetti Moka PotThere are times in a man’s life when he has to do the right thing, and choosing how to make his coffee in the morning is one of those times. So ditch the palm-itchingly expensive, kitchen counter-swallowing Sage by Heston Blumenthals and Nespressos of the world and go back to basics with Italian inventor Luigi De Ponti’s macchinetta, or ‘small machine’. Acquired by Alfonso Bialetti back in 1933, it’s still capable of producing a cup of joe far superior to one that drips from a machine so pretentious it expects you to go shopping for pods in specialist boutiques.Pub Quiz Fact: Bialetti’s mascot is a pointy-fingered man with an impressive moustache, designed to look like he is ordering an espresso.Buy Now: £21.13Roberts Revival RadioYorkshire may (historically speaking) be better known for its rice-based desserts than its trend-setting design, but Mexborough-based Roberts Radio is the noteworthy exception. The Royal Warrant-holding brand’s R66 model – a simple, box-shaped radio with a front-facing speaker, carry handle and top-mounted dials – turned a piece of everyday electronics into a compact and aesthetically pleasing household essential. Today, invest in the Revival – Roberts’ modern interpretation of the R66, which teams a throwback look with state-of-the-art sound.Pub Quiz Fact: The original R66 was created by founder Harry Roberts in 1956. It was inspired by the design of a handbag owned by his wife.Buy Now: £179.99Billy BookcaseMoan all you like about the cramp that comes with attempting to follow IKEA’s hieroglyphic-style instructions, but there’s no disputing that the Swedish homeware giant’s Billy Bookcase has taken a sizeable spot in living rooms everywhere from Brooklyn to Bangkok. First produced in 1979 by Gillis Lundgren, IKEA’s fourth employee, the name Billy was chosen after an IKEA advertising manager named Billy Liljedahl stated that he wanted “a proper bookcase just for books” to be designed. And if you ever thought your notebook doodles weren’t good enough for primetime, Lundgren’s initial sketches for the bookcase were done on the back of a napkin.Pub Quiz Fact: With IKEA claiming to sell one every 10 seconds, the Billy Bookcase is so ubiquitous that Bloomberg uses it as an Index to compare purchasing power across the world.Buy Now: £55.00Kinto Vermilion Porcelain Brim TeapotLike real men wear pink, real men own teapots. If you’ve always admired the stylish, Japanese-style teapots at the Tate Museum cafés, the good news is that you can have your very own Kinto teapot at home. Established in 1972 in Japan, Kinto specialises in contemporary drinkware, with the aim of slowing down and filling your days with things that inspire you. And who doesn’t need more of that?Pub Quiz Fact: The Kinto is designed to be larger than typical teapots to allow the tea to move more freely. In other words, it’s the easiest way to get a proper good brew.Buy Now: £25.00Ercol Originals Coffee TableYou may be surprised to learn that Ercol, the furniture maker that’s been a household name in Britain for over half a century, was founded by Lucian Ercolani – an Italian who immigrated to London during the late 19th century. His claim to fame came during WWII, developing industrial design style furniture that used fewer resources than the dark, ornate pieces of the pre-war period. Today Ercol’s coffee table has the same tapered beech legs as the traditional wartime pieces did but, in a modern upgrade, is made from sustainable hardwood. From its founding in Shoreditch to its mainstay place on carpets across the globe today, Ercolani’s legacy – bringing great design to ordinary people – has remained steadfast.Pub Quiz Fact: In addition to selling its original coffee table, more recently Ercol has collaborated with designers such as Margaret Howell to update the design for a new generation.Buy Now: £485.00Falcon Bake SetIf you’ve ever eaten a casserole prepared in a Falcon casserole dish, then you won’t question its place on this list. If you haven’t, then what the hell are you waiting for? Joe Kleiner & Sons’ instantly recognisable navy and white design, capable of handling anything from a whole roast turkey to a summer BBQ, is a culinary godsend. It’s made of enamel which is porcelain fused onto heavy-gauge steel, so basically all your favourite superhero characters in one: it can’t burn, is resistant to harsh chemicals, and if you drop it, it may chip but it won’t break. Trust us: your date night cooking game is nothing without it.Pub Quiz Fact: If you’re a fan of charcoaled food, Falcon dishes can withstand temperatures of up to 530F, which is about 270C.Buy Now: £79.00 Source link

As soon as we moved into our ‘forever house’ the first thing I knew I wanted, scrap that, needed to change was the kitchen, this wasn’t just a case of not suiting my style, it was basically only using up a fraction of the space, and it felt really small and old-fashioned. While the house might be old, I’d always wanted a large kitchen, where I could bake without feel cramp, and that would be the heart of the home, I wanted the kitchen to be more than just somewhere to cook, I actually wanted to create a room I wanted to spend time in, and I’m so happy to say that’s what we’ve achieved.

It is strange looking back on the before pictures, I really don’t recognise that space, everything from the colour of the cabinets to the cream walls made it look dirty and tired, and it didn’t really highlight the amazing old features of the house, the gorgeous light that comes in from the garden or take full advantage of the large space available.

The Kitchen Design

When it came to the design of the kitchen I had a fairly good idea what I was after, I knew that I wanted blue cabinets, white tops and copper accents, but I definitely felt like I needed help on the layout and specifications, as all I knew for sure is that I wanted an island, larder cupboards, as well as big drawers for my plates and pans, and a gorgeous big ceramic sink. When it came to the rest I certainly needed a little expert kitchen design help and the team at Magnet in Canterbury were amazing, the lovely Lyn came out to the house, she measured up, sat down with me and discussed what I would be using the kitchen for, what I liked about the current kitchen, which was basically nothing except the Aga, and my dream features I’d love to see in my new kitchen. She also brought samples of the doors and worktop that I had expressed interest in, so I could actually see them in my kitchen, against the red tiles which were keeping, as well as with the beams, the light and the Aga, which actually inspired the colour of the kitchen units.

The home visit really helped me make a lot of decisions, I went for a different cabinet design than I thought, as they were a near perfect colour match with the Aga, they looked better against the red tiles, and I just felt that the barely-there shaker style just really worked with the farmhouse touches of the kitchen, while the colour and light worktops added the contemporary feel that I was looking for.

The design process was easy, I didn’t really have to do much except chat about what I wanted, while Lyn went away and put together the plan using all my ideas, as well as her expert knowledge on the practicalities on where things could actually go, as we had a few challenges such as low ceilings, beams, extra doors and windows, the well, yep I have a well in my kitchen, as well as the fact we weren’t able to move the water supply, that all had to be considered in the design plan.

The turn around was quick, we went in to see Lyn at the Magnet Canterbury showroom a week later, she showed us our plan on the computer as well as point out the finer details on the display kitchens, such as the size of the island, the drawer options, the handles, and the larder set up, and we also had to pick out the sink, taps, and worktops that we wanted. You know the fun bits.

My Magnet Kitchen

Magnet wasn’t the only place we looked, we went everywhere, but when it comes to designing a kitchen you have to go with who looks after you the best, offers the right products for your kitchen, and who can do it within your budget, and for us, that was definitely Magnet, and I’m so pleased with how my Dunham Sky kitchen came together.

The major aspect of my kitchen has to be the island, which is the centrepiece for the main room. Not only does it offer a ton of storage, we have three cupboards, six drawers and a bookcase, it also houses our new induction hob to complement the Aga, and our Zanussi oven, which I’m obsessed with as it has a pyrolytic cleaning, which basically translates into never having to clean the oven again, and I love it. I know we have the Aga, which is great for cooking meat and baking cakes, but when you just want to throw in a pizza this beauty is amazing, it heats up really quickly and even has a pizza setting for a delicious crispy base.

I also love that we were able to make the island big enough to have a breakfast bar at the end, as this is basically where we hang out, eat breakfast, lunch, dinner and everything in between, as well as somewhere for me to work outside of my office, as well as shoot a flatlay or two.

As the island is pretty large a major chunk of our budget went on the worktop as I wanted white marble quartz to add a contemporary touch against the brickwork, tiles and beams, as well as create a statement as it’s the first thing you see when you enter the room. I’m not going to lie, this is where most of the budget went, but just look at it, so gorgeous, and really allows the blue cabinets to shine. We also placed the quartz around the Aga, which was a major undertaking for the installers, as there are three pieces around the Aga and it wasn’t an easy job to fit with the Aga fitted in place and the uneven brickwork around it, but they did an excellent job as you can’t even really see the joins.

One thing to note when opting for quartz you will have to wait a week at least for it to be installed as the quartz is all made to measure, someone comes out to measure up and do a template and then they go away to cut it before returning to install, and in my case cut it down slightly to fit it in because getting behind the Aga was a little tricky. But I can’t recommend the quartz worktop enough from Magnet the quality is amazing, the installation was immaculate and it really just adds something extra special to the kitchen.

My Kitchen: Magnet – Dunham Sky with Square Copper Handles // White Marble Quartz Worktop // White Marble Laminate Worktop // Zanussi – Induction Hob // Zanussi – Pyrolytic Electric Oven // Franke Modena Ceramic Sink // Franke Eiger Silk Steel Tap //

The Scullery

Now if money was no object I’d say always opt for quartz everywhere, this stuff is tough and a dream to clean, however, with the extra building work we needed to do to get the dream kitchen we decided to do something complementary in the scullery with this gorgeous marble-effect premium laminate, which when the quartz installers came back thought was the real-deal, and save a little money, and you know what I don’t regret it as I love that the scullery has a contrast to the main room.

Another thing you have to consider when getting laminate is that you can’t have all sinks, so a Belfast sink isn’t going to work as they use the quartz or wood top to create a draining board and that’s not possible on laminate, however, I had my heart set on this white Franke Modena 1.5 bowl ceramic sink, I just love its rounded edges so it didn’t matter. But do note that with most ceramic sinks they do take up more of the cupboard below so if you need all your storage you might want to choose a different sink.

I also moved the sink slightly more into the centre of the scullery, to take full advantage of the window, which looks stunning now we’ve had the shutters installed from Thomas Sanderson, and meant that I could get my dishwasher and washing machine either side of it to allow room for an extra larder cupboard at the end.

I was worried that by not having wall units I wouldn’t have enough storage, but I kept forgetting the island, so the scullery is nice and minimal in its design with two larder cupboards either end for food, a corner unit, and a slim cupboard, as well as the unit under the sink. It doesn’t sound a lot but the corner unit really can fit a lot in it as that’s where I keep all my appliances that I didn’t want sitting on the top like my food processor, coffee machine, blender and Nutribullet, as well as pans, Tupperware and all my baking supplies.

The major change to this space was also the reopening of the door and well as the discovery of a small window behind one of the wall units, which has really helped to open up the tiny room and I think, along with the white paint, the simple marble-effect splashback and the copper fisherman pendant lights from Iconic Lights it has made this room look really smart and contemporary – I think the only thing left to do in here is to add a few corner shelves to place more of my crockery on display, as I have a lot of it!!!

My Kitchen Details: Iconic Lights – Copper Fisherman Wall Lights & Pendants (c/o) // Tefal – Kettle & Toaster (c/o) // Desenio – Wall Art (c/o) // Cult Furniture – Hairpin Stools with Copper Legs (c/o) // Dulux – Timeless White Paint // Cath Kidston – Disney Cups // Cambridge Satchel Company – Cambridge Candle (c/o) // Ikea – Glass Vases // Le Creuset – Kettle & Storage // Orla Kiely – Storage Jars // Thomas Sanderson – Shutters //

Vintage Touches

There were three things that survived the kitchen refurb – the floor tiles, not only are they are amazing I think I cried when I heard how much it would cost to replace them, the Aga, another beauty that just needed a little love and a professional clean and service, and these wall tiles from the 1950s that the previous owner had installed.

I’m kind of obsessed with tiles and I did consider getting tiles for the scullery, I decided against as I didn’t want it to look cluttered, so instead I decided to keep these vintage beauties and make a feature of them by framing them with two reclaimed oak floating shelves to display my pretty things on, namely gorgeous tea sets, my favourite plants and candles. We also made the area into a spot for Falcon as well by placing his dog bed underneath and he loves it as he is right in the middle of all the action, near the scullery, close to the Aga for the warmth and can see what’s going on at the island.

What do you think of my new kitchen?

You can probably tell I’m a little happy with how the kitchen has turned out, it really is everything I wanted and more, and it’s already become the focal point of the house. There are so many other things I want to share about the kitchen, like all the copper details from my Tefal toaster and kettle to the Iconic Lights, the vintage dresser, my love of plants, as well as tips on what to consider when you are planning your kitchen, but that will all come in future posts with more pictures from the kitchen, as I was feeling like this post was getting a little long.

Would love to hear what you think of the kitchen from before to now – leave me a comment below or get in touch on social, either on Twitter @FashionNBarbie or on my Instagram @FashionistaBarbie.

Black & White Interior Design Ideas

Hello, my dear friends! How are you today? I hope you’re feeling healthy and things are going well for you.

It’s really wonderful to start this new day sharing with this beautiful home with you. Honestly speaking, I work really hard to bring the best and the latest when it comes to interior design to all of you, and I want you to know how much I appreciate your daily presence on Home Bunch. You guys keep inspiring me!

Now, let’s talk about this gorgeous place!

Recently built by Timber Trails Development Company and with interiors by Julie Howard (previously featured here, here, here & here), this home features so many fresh ideas that I am sure you will leave the post feeling inspired.

Here, the interior designer shares more about this newly-built home: “The Andover at Timber Trails is a sophisticated and chic farmhouse. One might think those two looks wouldn’t meld well together but the Andover bucks conventional wisdom. Starting with the exterior we traded the traditional white and black farmhouse for a dark grey facade. We love how it pops off the white trim. The stone work elevates the design and grounds the house at the same time. Inside we went with a white and black design warmed up with brass, natural wood, and hints of mossy green. We hope you enjoy this tour of the house we built to showcase creative and awe-inspiring design.” – Julie Howard, In-house designer for Timber Trails Development Company.

Pin your favorite interior design ideas and have a good time, everyone!

Two-toned Kitchen

The kitchen epitomizes sophisticated and chic farmhouse. The hood is the focal point as you walk into the kitchen.

Kitchen Peninsula

We used a cement tile on the back of the kitchen peninsula. We then used a Caesarstone waterfall to cap the open edge. We love the detail this provides and as a mom, I love the idea of wiping down the dirt that always seems to be where little feet kick. It was a really simple tile project because there isn’t a window or outlet to have to cut around. It’s a flat, plain wall. If you get sick of the tile pattern, it would be so simple just to tile right over the area with another tile.

Cement Tile: Overstock – similar here.

Vertical

The vertical shiplap along side the elegant fixtures and brass hardware is unexpected but somehow works so beautifully together.

Mirrors

I knew I wanted to have dramatic mirrors that brought your eyes up to a beautiful chandelier. I could not find simple, mid-century style mirrors that were really tall. I decided to use my greatest asset – my trim carpenter. He actually used a sheet of MDF, and some 1x4s cut in half to create the mirror frames. Then we had our painter spray them black when he was spraying the interior doors. After we installed the frames on the wall, the mirror company measured and installed a custom mirror. This project allowed us to create framed mirrors that were the absolute perfect size for the space. I will certainly use this technique again for sure!
