Thread: Haunted doll house - WIP

Tweet

This week, while at Hobby Lobby with my daughter, I was eyeing the doll house kits and thinking how much fun it would be to build one and "haunt it".
My daughter reminded me of the one I did for her when she was little and said why didn't I just re-do it. Uh... OK! So the next day, I climbed into the attic and pulled it out and got started. What fun I am having!
Here is a before shot and one of what it looks like at this stage. I still have lots of haunting to do, but I think it's looking pretty good!

Amazing what a little paint and a few broken windows will do...
Are you going to put little animated ghosts in the windows? You could even do them Pepper's Ghost style a la "Leota in a Shoebox:"

How neat! Keep us updated.

Mr. Chicken that was awesome! I don't think I can do that in the dollhouse with the way it is constructed but it sure is neat in a shoebox!
But, there is a ghost in my house so no worries. Just look in the left attic window...

You could put paper on the inside of the windows, and have small shadow puppets moving back and forth!

Wow! That shoebox video was somethin' else!
Nice work on the Dollhouse, Madam!

I LOVE that shoebox idea. SO original to use an iPod!!!

I made one of those a few years back. It doesn't really have broken windows, it's just haunted in it's color scheme. It's a little different in the picture than real life. It's the same colors of this forum. I am going to haunt the inside one day. It came from Hobby Lobby it cost 25.00 without coupon. I was going to put a weather vane on top but I sit it way up on top of one of my kitchen cabinets and there is only an inch or so to the ceiling and it's bigger than it looks.

how fun to see this because i have one on my kitchen table waiting to be haunted!!!

CHM, I love yours! Very nice detail work.

LadyAlthea, please share yours when you get started!
