After a great deal of consideration and argument, we have decided to redo our living room in classic Addams Family style. The argument was over whether to redecorate at all, of course, since usually we're too lazy to remodel anything we can't reach from the couch. Once we made the commitment, actually deciding on the theme took about fifteen seconds.
Teres and I have been "Addams Family" fans since we were both children. Something about the subversive nature of it appealed to us, even then. The Addamses weren't quite evil, per se, but they were probably related to it by marriage. The whole family was relentlessly cheerful and accepting of just about everyone they encountered, where the reverse was most certainly not true. And while "The Addams Family" may not have been the first sitcom to show a husband and wife in bed together (that was, oddly enough, "The Munsters") it was the first sitcom to suggest the parents had a sex life. Also, bear traps.
This, we knew, was something we wanted to embrace in ourselves. And in our living room.

You could add in a little Roahld Dalh's "Landlady" by having a few dead, stuffed pets in front of the fireplace...

That "Gorey Details" site is great. I HAVE to get a couple of those portraits before Halloween!
