The Wrong House

I went into a house, and it wasn't a house,
It has big steps and a great big hall;
But it hasn't got a garden,
A garden,
A garden,
It isn't like a house at all.

I went into a house, and it wasn't a house,
It has a big garden and great high wall;
But it hasn't got a may-tree,
A may-tree,
A may-tree,
It isn't like a house at all.

I went into a house, and it wasn't a house -
Slow white petals from the may-tree fall;
But it hasn't got a blackbird,
A blackbird,
A blackbird,
It isn't like a house at all.

I went into a house, and I thought it was a house,
I could hear from the may-tree the blackbird call…
But nobody listened to it,
Nobody
Liked it,
Nobody wanted it at all.

That is a Maxfield Parrish sky! Amazing lighting....always love it when people do atmospheric lighting inside the house as well.

Same with interior lighting. It ALWAYS looks so cool, yet you rarely see people using that effect on Halloween night. In my years of blogging, I've only found a handful of houses that do this trick.

I managed it one or two years in this huge house we've got with all of the upstairs lit up with purple orange projection lights. So cool to drive up to on the way home from the grocery store. : )

That sounds really neat.
