    This is a work of art. You use materials so creatively--egg cartons, styrofoam, foam sheets...

    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 hope I'm not too late to share inside decorating ideas.
    I was thinking different types of "witchy gifts" per room, like an apothecary kitchen with dried herbs and things in jars, something star gazing/moon watching in that top room with the fancy window, a divination room (would that nearly be the same as the star room??), and the like... and of course an library!
    This video has given me so many outside painting ideas!! Years ago I made a different house from a kit, and it's been waiting for me to decorate it since. It screams to be made spooky, but I don't want it to be horror or gloomy to be in my room all the time, like most of the dolls house repaint videos are.

    This is great, I actually have a similar dollhouse, I may just haul it out and try to make a witches cottage as a side project. 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!😅
