Potion Cabinet and Labels
Posted by Johnny | Posted in Projects, The Manor | Posted on 20-09-2008
I decided this year that one of my projects for 2008 would be a new “yet old looking” potion cabinet to place in the kitchen. Last year, I found a vintage hutch witch was painted black and then aged. It definitely was a conversation piece however I feel that it limited what could be done, and was a bit large for the area. So, I decided to build my own and will post pictures shortly!
In order to get some inspiration for this project, I decided to start designing some labels for various bottles that would be displayed on the shelves that would be built into the cabinet. A friend sent me some great Photoshop brushes from Deviant Art to help give them that great look. Here are a few (below) that I feel are some of the best I came up with.
I look forward to keep you all updated on this project! I’ll post pictures of the shelf within the coming days.
These are so beautifully styled, Johnny. The attention to detail and images/fonts you chose make them elegant, almost fragile.
Splendid - so much of what floats about on the web passing for Halloween decor simply isn’t up to my standards; your take on it, however, is completely on par with mine. Haunted Mansion meets Martha Stewart, I’m tempted to say…
Please do maintain this blog. I, for one, will be reading.

The labels are fabulous, but what about all the weird potion that go in the bottle. I am not feeling creative and just want to know some goulish things to put into them.
awesome, love Halloween and love it that other adults find it just as fun as ever.

I can imagine the fun you must have had making them;) I’ll put a link on my blog to the labels and your blog if that is ok? Nice to see that there is other Halloween fantasts out there… Living in Norway, usually people don’t really get the whole Halloween thing and think that my extetended decoration is quite crazy… haha Thank heaven for my exentric friends;)
Thanks so much for all the fantastic comments.
