About Velvet Noir

Welcome to Velvet Noir — a blog about living a dark, vintage, and beautiful life without breaking the bank.

I thrift obsessively, collect antique dolls and stuffed animals, watch more true crime documentaries than is probably healthy, and have strong opinions about 90s horror movies. I live with my 9 cats (yes, nine) in a home I've decorated almost entirely with thrifted and antique finds.

This blog is where I share all of it — the thrift hauls, the DIY projects, the room makeovers, the movie reviews, the travel adventures to antique shops and cemeteries, and everything in between. If you're into dark feminine aesthetics, budget-friendly decorating, and things that are a little bit spooky and a lot beautiful, you're in the right place.
