DEXTER DINING ROOM BY AMY LAU!

One of my all time favorite shows has been the inspiration for one of the many rooms in a $25 million dollar mansion that is up for sale. The rooms in the mansion have been transformed to showcase the visual elements and ambiance of shows such as The Tudors, Californication, Weeds, L Word, and of course DEXTER! The Dexter makeover was done in the dining room and the kitchen, but I think it is most effective in the dining room. Lau used the classic Dexter imagery of stark white against blood red and filled the room with beautiful, mysterious pieces while succesfully keeping a feeling of hidden violence in the room. I think my take on it would have been gorier but this keeps it within the comfort zone of those who may not be as familiar with the show. I think she did an amazing job and the whole concept is interesting and entertaining. I especially love the combination of the dinnerware with the blood vials, but no saran wrap? The custom made chandelier is a beautiful piece in itself and was created using wineglasses dipped in white vinyl and glued together with rope and cables. For more pics click here!
