    ok. So I may be a little obssessed with Disney and the Haunted Mansion... but when I get my own house, I want my backyard to have a Southern Porch feel to it... So I was paging through the King Metals Catalog that came with my order of finials today, and came across what appears to be... An ALMOST EXACT match to the cast iron scrollies that Disney used on the Porch that wraps around the haunted mansion...



    Page 495 in the King Metals Catalog!!!

    I am so excited by this find, I couldn't help but post about it!

    Long Live Halloween and the Haunted Mansion!!!

    we are creating something similar to those out of plywood... We tried to purchase candleabra's like those, but no where on the interwebs do they seem to be sold....


    We have already created these...


    they haven't been painted yet, but we've cut out approx. 50 ft of them...and they will have candles attached to them via screws/staples/hot glue.. it will be a trial and error most likely.
