    This is the first video that I have seen of yours and I just wanted to tell you that you did a fantastic job with the renovation of the dollhouse. I love how you transformed it into a haunted house and the creative use of materials was perfect. The foam bricks, the rooftop addition, the mossy effect, the change in the shutters and flower boxes, the fence, the steps - all great and realistic looking and the best part of all, well proportioned. So many times, crafters start in a miniature format and then add something that is out of proportion, and it just robs the item of its quality.

      I love it when people use what they have. As for ideas of what to put in the inside, @BentleyHouseMinis did a whole series of building and furnishing a house from junk, recyclable material that people would have, during the pandemic lockdown. She does marvellous things with corrugated cardboard! I get my creative urges satisfied vicariously by watching people like you so I’m looking forward to the inside of this.

    Gotta have a cauldron, of course. Lots of bottles for potions and ingredients, a few spell books, candles/candle chandeliers, fireplace, black cats and black birds. The outside looks great! I'd love a witch windvane on the roof.

I love the subtle colours of the stone steps, the whole house looks great. Yesterday there was a heap of builders garbage outside my block of flats and, there was thin sheets of polystyrene. I thought my other half would have a fit if I brought them home, of course, this morning, this video, I have a similar house, polystyrene gone in the bin lorries. Aahrgh! Typical!😅

There's not one part of it that I could suggest improving and so many things you did that I never would have thought of. Such a well considered alteration, and wonderfully executed.

    You did a FABULOUS job!!!!
    What did you use to "mistify" lol the windows? And, what was your problem-solving process for lights inside the house (temperature, kind, placement -- all the things) What was your original source, if you recall, for the little pumpkins?
    What sheen of acrylic paint did you use? Did you seal any of the paint finishes, with anything?
    Really adorable; you're a natural. If you get tired of it, gift it to a little girl who's a bit older, maybe lonely or eccentric, w parents who are really struggling but love her. (Or single)
    You could change a child's life!

      Awww, Thank you so much for your kind words! I love that suggestion. To answer some of your questions (hopefully), I put some vellum paper in the windows, and set some battery-powered tea lights inside. I'll have to come up with some little lamps or something when I decorate the inside. The pumpkins, I picked up from Hobby Lobby, they were in a big bag as a 'filler' for vases etc but they were the perfect 1:12 scale size. For the acrylic paints, I have multiple sheens from various tubes/brands, but for anything black, I used a matte sheen or tried to. And I did seal the brick walls and stone steps with matte Mod Podge!
