Administrative Details: June 2011

Hello everyone,
Just a few administrative details to cover this week so you all know what's going to be going on with this blog in the future.

First of all, the re-theme of the blog's design seems to be working out very well, and I'm happy with the changes that occurred about a month ago. Everything is looking much cleaner and is more aesthetically pleasing. Although it's still a fairly simple design, it gets the point across and is much better than the bland gray styling that was in use before.

Secondly, you may have wondered why no post appeared at 12:01 AM this past morning. The reason is that I'll be switching the day the blog gets updated with a new post from Sunday at 12:01 AM to Monday at the same time. I'm able to work most on new content for the blog over the weekends, so this time change just works better for myself.

Finally, be on the look out for content that relates to our upcoming 2011 Halloween season. Projects are finally being finalized and will now be moving from our "blue-sky" conceptualizations to the always fun construction phase. Hopefully there will be enough progress made to update you all on a weekly basis.

With only about 4 months to go, Halloween 2011 is fast approaching. Make sure to keep reading and enjoying the Greywood Manor Blog!

The relaunch of content begins Monday, July 11!

Props Part 3

For the third week in a row, we'll be taking a look at three different props. This time again, all the props are featured in the attic scene.

This chandelier painting on canvas was bought at a Hobby Lobby store. It's interesting, but is not an integral part of the story. It does go along with the real chandelier hanging in the attic though!

This next prop is an Underwood Typewriter. Yes, it's a real antique, but it no longer works properly. I found this through Craig's List. Luckily it was only $20.

The final prop being examined this week is a cage. Two weeks ago, we featured a smaller bird cage. This cage, however, could theoretically hold any small animal. This prop too was bought at Hobby Lobby. It's strictly for decorative purposes, but in the future we might enhance this otherwise stagnant prop.
