My daughter is in school. Shhhh nobody tell her that I'm watching without her. I'll watch it again with her later. 😉🤭😁🤣🤣
😄 Thank you for the double views!!
@@BentleyHouseMinis If only you knew how many times I have rewatched your videos. 😁😂
I like to re-watch them as I'm falling a sleep with the auto play on. 😊😂😂😂
I love how there is no wasted space with this house and what a great way to showcase everyone's mini house contributions.
Thank you Ashley! I always knew I wanted a space for the houses and I am so glad the two ideas came together so well with the use of foundation space!
I'm always amazed at how much work you do to add the little details that are so important. I had forgotten about the aluminum foil that was used for building the base. When I initially saw the grave, it didn't dawn on me that the layers were not how the base was built. It is so well done that a person who had no experience with building miniatures wouldn't know that you added the walls. Geez, I didn't realize it until I saw this video. I love the way this entire project is turning out. You are an inspiration.
Aww yay! That means it looks convincing and makes me so happy. Yeah I thought about leaving the pink foam and aluminum because that is actually how I made it but I think it would just stand out too much. I am so glad you enjoyed it!
The perfect gift for Ara is brown paint
Someone asked my oldest child what I wanted for Christmas... she said, "oh just get her some brown paint and she'll be happy". She's not wrong😄😄
@@BentleyHouseMinis I had the feeling that it was the perfect gift for you 🙂
Yay!!! More beetlejuice. Hope you have been enjoying the new Wednesday series on Netflix 😘
Such a cool series!
Yes I have! I think they have done a great job making her the same confident character we have always known but also giving her flaws and ways she can grow during the show. I also like the other students and that they have story lines of their own! Looking forward to season 2 already!
I love it!!
The garage is so charming, and I love the hole that's a reference to the movie diorama. You are so creative!
Thank you!!😊 I can't wait to add more detail to both!
I absolutely love the dug up "grave". I was screaming, "Ara NO! You worked too hard on the foundation!" I got some strange looks but hey. Then it came out beautifully! One of my favorite parts.
YOU SHOULD MAKE A TINY FLY AND STICK IT TO THE SCREEN. A headstone and a little pile of debris next to the grave would be great.
Fun ideas! I definitely plan to put some debris around the hole. It looks way too clean and neat right now!
I think having the hole be Beetlejuice's grave is the best idea!
Love how this is coming along, You are truly an artist ❣️
Thank you Teresa😊
Yes! New video from my fav miniaturist.Watching your videos is like hanging out w a friend. Made my day.
That makes me so happy to hear! Just the vibe I am going for😊💖
Amazing!
Friday is my favorite day of the week. Not because of work or school. But because of Bentley House Miniatures and Ace of Clay.
Ara when you put the floor on then shined the light into the Garage it look so realistic. Spot on girl!!! Looking forward to the Prompt video. 👍🏻
Aww thank you Debbra!! I appreciate that! I am so glad you liked the end results😊
Ara, Great video, very funny too! Looking forward to the Bad Dream video. ❤
Thank you my friend! I am too! I am excited to just sit down and needlefelt for a bit ;) They giant hill building has been fun but I am ready for something a bit smaller for a break😄
Ara!!! I mean…its a garage….why is it so cool??
I have an idea to deal with the corners lifting slightly…..use some Velcro? I don’t know if it would be too thick, but it could hold it down….
😄😄 I am glad it came out cool! The houses are what is going to make it a spectacular space though! Interesting thought with the velcro! Putting that in my saved ideas for future tests ;)
Everything is coming together....can't wait for finished product 💖💖💖💖
Had to laugh, fighting the jungle of material to free the bottle of brown paint. LOL
It's been too long lol!😄
You're making good progress, love the desk! Also, your Christmas jumper is epic! much love!
😄 Lol! Thank you my friend! It's one of my favorites!
I just realized your face on your shirt..lol cool..
😊Thank you! Its the mom from Home Alone, Catherine O'Hara ;) She also plays Delia in the Beetlejuice movie!
I’m amazed I’ve forgotten about so many thing and how you show to fix things😊
I love the nod to the grave! I always loved that part, it was so well done and the scale is just amazing. Even as a kid, it stood out to me and seemed so real!
Me too!! I am so happy I found a place to include it! So glad you enjoyed it!
The felt was such a great idea to prevent light from leaking in between the floors and walls. I hope that works as well as I imagine it will.
So satisfying seeing some houses in the space! The garage is amazing.
I think the hole in the lawn looks great. The finishing touches will really make it work (adding the cut off bits and surrounding it with grass).
Thank you! It should really come in handy between the 1st and 2nd floor I hope. It's really hard to keep all those walls perfectly level. I totally agree about the cut off bits too!
Yassss it's BeetleMas!!!! Thank you !!!!
😄😄
This is the first video I just watched. Really inspired me to get started. Even though it looks so difficult for me but at least I can learn a lot from you. Thanks!😊👌
I dont like trade names like Gator Board because you can hardly ever get American Brands elsewhere in the world. Is "Gator board" the same as PVC foamboard which is like foamboard but not like foamboard as its solid all the way through?
I agree with everyone. You are fantastic. I especially love that your videos show exactly HOW MUCH WORK goes into creating a house. I find myself wanting to say to folks sometimes, "No, you don't get it. This took hundreds and hundreds of hours." But, of course, one cannot really do that. But we all know as we watch you and from our own experience. Thanks and have a great holiday.
When you watch a lot of UA-cam you realize how kind and special you really are! Have a beautiful holiday with your family! You deserve it and way much more! Merry Christmas!
I love it but here some you can add to it. A VACUUM. Remember the vacuums in the garage
Another fantastic video! Your idea of having people send the miniature houses was such a nice idea. They look really good.
I wait until I can sit down with a blanket and comfort food to binge watch your videos. I also replay those I have watched as background while working on my classroom. I like your voice, but not in a creepy way...😁
Can u maybe try to make a other scene from a movie 🎥 when u get the chance ,I love watching ur videos && ur voice is very calming 🙂 can't wait for it next post !!!
You have a wonderful way of planning and executing those plans. The garage is such a great display area for all those adorable tiny houses. So many talented people in this world! How fun! Love the grave and again your eye for detail that most of us probably wouldn't have noticed. (I will have to watch the movie some more!) Really enjoying this build!
Thank you Nicki! I can't wait to get some light in there to really light them up properly😊 I am so glad you are enjoying the process!
Love it! Suggestion: how about making the garage doors like barn doors? The two hinged doors might be easier to work with. Then maybe paint it with a weathered white.
You and I are thinking the same thing! That will be a lot easier and I will probably leave them permanently open. So glad you liked it!
@@BentleyHouseMinis Yes, I really did and maybe you might disguise the lighting as shop lights, hanging from the ceiling.
The music editing when you went to grab the brown paint was amazing XD!
The coregation so happy for some reason! Looks adorable
Amo seus vídeos isso me inspira 😻
Thank you Daniel!
This is looking so good 🥰 I’m loving this!!! 💝💝
Thank you so much Charlotte!
"AMAZING... AMAZING... AMAZING... AMAZING... AMAZING... AMAZING...
AMAZING... AMAZING...
ONCE AGAIN...lol
Just awesome...
Lol thank you Robin!
It’s always a good day when Ara posts🥰🥰
Aww thank you💖😊
Quick comment here bc I am on the go..lol ..So glad you used the tool for the screen..bc I never thought of that and I would like to build one of those screen slap doors! This came out so kool..and perfect for displaying those lovely teeny tiny houses..that I don't think I would be able to make so small! 🥰 Kudos to all makers of the extra tiny diorama houses! 💖💖
The tulle worked great but I definitely suggest a couple layers. Just 1 was so hard to see! The houses are so amazing! It was fun to pull some of them out and look at all the details on them again!
Another great video 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Thank you Ara!
Thank you Elaine!
Can I say I loooove your Kevin shirt!!!?? Seriously!! You know I love a good graphic shirt! Sooo cool!!
😄😄 Thank you! My sister got it for me and I instantly knew I would have to wear it during a December Beetlejuice video!
the garage looks amazing!!
OMG The dramatic music for brown paint made me laugh out loud!🤣🤣🤣 Looks great!
😄 I had to express how I felt inside! lol!
my kingdom for half of her skills
Great work as always , your work is amazing .
SOOOOO KOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLL .
Thank you so much Mike!
The little houses look so good on the garage shelves. It displays them perfectly.
😊 Thank you!!
Making red sauce while watching and I'm always pumped for beetle juice project videos!! Love the garage idea for storage... which is what it's for too in human scale! Maybe doing a fake "track light" like actual garage lights out of rice paper with an LED so it's a softer light. Loving that you had so much positivity and submissions, I love this community!
I hope the cooking went well!! I will look into the track light idea. I might have to dig into the ceiling for that but it will be worth it to light up all those little houses! This community is amazing! Thank you for being a part of it😊
I envision the lighting for the garage being like that super warm/dim light like it was when they first arrive home from the accident and the fire is glowing in the fireplace. It’s somehow eerie and cozy. Yeah. Should be easy! /s 😂😂😂😂
😄😄 I know the kind of light you mean and I am thinking the same thing! The only issues is where to put the light. At ceiling heights of 6' I am going to have to get creative lol!
Well done! The chair is perfect, I have never known a New England garage without a lonely chair, often without backs, actually. You are an extraordinary inspiration. I recently dared to try felting even! Thank you for being you.
Thank you Susan! Every house needs that random chair that floats around doing different jobs ;) I am so glad you tried felting! I have really enjoyed it
MERAVIGLIOSA
Grazie!!😊
I am loving ALL of this! The scene in the movie of digging in the diarama always drove me crazy because the scale of the writing on the cardboard ("fragile" etc) was WAY off and would have been such an easy thing to fix. ;)
I like to picture the set designer sitting back to watch the movie he worked so hard on and then getting overwhelmingly mad at the prop department for throwing regular cardboard into that scene 😄 'C'mon... I worked so hard on that oversized corrugation!"🥴
You should break up the "cover" and place it around the hole, so it looks like it was dug up...just a thought :) Great video, can't wait for more
Great idea!! I will keep that piece for the future! Thank you😊
Do you make bookshelf nooks, like miniature libraries to use a bookends in an actual library? Also, do you sell you finish products. These are amazing and I wouldlove to display something like this in my home one day.
Hi Kelly! I have a website for the items I sell at www.bentleyhouseminis.com ;) I don't have book nooks yet but I do have a few other room box designs. I don't typically sell my finished items but if I ever do then my website is where I would post them. If you want to keep up with new items in my store you can sign up for my email list (link in description ;) Thanks for asking! (the store will close for a little bit over Christmas and then reopen in January)
It was so cool seeing how the scale of the tiny houses work with the scale of your amazing build! And your garage and story behind it feel so right for this build. I am loving watching this process take shape. Thank you for sharing your time with us.
Thank you Daisy! It was so fun to put them in there and I can't wait for working on the attic diorama as well! So glad you are enjoying it!😊
A dark wash would have brought out the wood grain marks on the garage walls but is quite wonderful as is! A shovel and pile of debris will very much define the hole in the lawn. I like the felt on the top of basement. I usually felt the bottom of the first story also to double the light blocking benefit. I like to add a peg to the basement level with matching hole in the first level. Just makes it harder to knock the level off in case it gets bumped. We voted on your two weeks off and it barely passed. Turns out two weeks is very difficult for many of us to go without a video! Have a great Holiday!
I might add in some more aging as I add more shelving too. Never enough wood grain! ;) The peg is a really good idea. I was thinking of using magnets again to keep things in place but I peg would work really nicely too and I wouldn't have to worry about the magnets pulling out of the foam. I am so glad the vote passed! phew! Hopefully it will be worth the wait when I come back with the first video I have planned for 2023! Happy Holidays!
So Ara, when I am adding new clay to dry clay, I wet the surface of the older dry clay, that helps it to stick and not curl loose as much. Also are you planning on doing grass flocking on the yard? it would cover all the problem spots. you should take the section you cut out, and break it up then glue it to the side of the hole like someone dug it out and piled it.
I probably should have done that but so far it seems to be holding on ok. Great tip to remember! I will be using static grass for the first time with this project and I am so excited! I do think it will cover up a lot of the differences. I did keep that piece you mentioned and I think I will static grass it and break it apart like you suggested. It will be a good practice piece anyway😄
Your build has convinced me that I finally need to be brave and watch the movie. But if I can't sleep, and have all the lights on all night, I will say it's your fault! 😂
It's not too scary in my opinion. There are a couple gross-out moments with them trying to scare the living people but I think the comedy out weighs the scares. I hope it goes ok for you!
I haven't finished watching it so IDK if you fix it in this video. But you can go to home Depot or Lowe's and get a couple strips of trim and put around the edge of the project so that way it all looks straight and finished.
The trim strips are a great idea and probably the way to go. I think I will wait until closer to the end of the project when I get those other two rooms in the base finished. Then I can make sure each piece fits and gets finished ;)
14:46 come on Ricky Fitts 😄 the garage looks great so far! You always fo such beautiful work.
😄😄 I had to look up the reference lol! Totally fits! So glad you liked it ;) Thank you Mercedes!
Man you’re good at architecture. I love little details but building all the structures is beyond me.
I worked in the architecture field for a while and that definitely helped a bit!
amazing how much detail you do and explain. i love your videos. I have learned so much from you.
I am so glad it's helpful! Thank you Nancy!
OOOOO so mutch fun and yes the CG STAR stORMMMYY ye FULUFFFY as ever and you say whas like cake why do it will give the think say buday or duff see ace of caikes or king of cakes thare must be place near you that do that stuff just a think when its dun say un villing partty but will seee when post it and if go on your thing befoe ALL thare a good happy XMASS
It would be amazing to have a matching cake to celebrate the end of the Beetlejuice house lol! That would be quite a cake though! Stormy is at her ultimate fluff and is going to need a hair cut soon lol! Merry Christmas Redgreen09!
Another awesome video. I love the garage idea and it came out looking wonderful. All those houses - WOW! The hole is so clever with the different layers. I really like this idea.
Thank you Lori!! I am so glad you liked the progress😊
A room. The room... THE ROOM! So beautiful... Ehem. Anyway, good job. 😀
If this is it for this year, merry x-mas and all that, to you and Stormy and the rest of the family. See you whenever you return! 😉
Thank you! I have one more video planned that will be over a prompt but then I will take a break after that. I hope you have a wonderful Christmas as well!
@@BentleyHouseMinis See you on the flip side.
You are so amazing and awesome and funny!!! Love these videos. Can't wait for the next one.
Thank you so much Pat!!😊
We totally need some asmr bits of you cutting stuff! That tiny clip of you cutting through the clay was actually nice
I will try to remember to add some more of that in ;)
I love the cutout of the grave! one of my favorite scenes in the Beetlejuice movie because of Michael Keaton lol :D
I am glad you liked the idea! I think it will look even better with the bits around it. He did such a great job being a character that lives between disgust and endearing lol!
Stormy should have her own UA-cam channel 🐶
😄😄 I told her she can have one anytime as long as she is willing to do her own editing ;)
Such fun! I love the garage with all the houses in it. And you made a really cool Easter Egg digging into the base.
Thank you Kim!!
Where you limited on the width of the room by the amount of Gatorboard available? It seems like going all the way to the righthand wall would have made sense for a garage (meaning making the inside wider than the entry door)?
Looking back I think I could have made it a little bit wider but I don't think I would want it to be the entire width because then the shelves would have to be really deep for the houses to be up front and center when people peek in. That was my thought process but it did turn out a little bit tight in there!
I love how the garage is turning out! Plus ur sweater choice was perfection!
😄😄 Thank you!
It's looking great Ara. I like the hole in the lawn - great reference to the movie. Good work with the garage too - got to have fifty shades of brown going on somewhere!
Lol!! Thank you!
You Ara need a veneer saw. Look it up. It is made to start a saw cut in the middle of a surface. Like your stuff.
Great tip! I will look into it! Thank you!
What is the scale?
This is so awesome. You are so amazing and talented.
Thank you Yungzu!
There's a staircase that leads into the garage in the original movie.
I did see that and thought it would be cool to recreate but I just didn't have the room for it in there. I am imagining its behind the screen door somewhere ;)
As a creative person, I completely agree about that grave digging scene. The detail of the crafting materials that Adam and Barbara have to dig through was always amusing to me.
Re: the mini houses.
Everyone’s individual work looks amazing all together. It’s beautiful.
Brown!! It has arrived! 🤣
The garage looks great, love it with all the tiny houses inside! I used gatorboard exclusively at a sign company I used to work at, and have a love/hate relationship with it… it’s basically pvc sheets but is very strong!
It has lol!! Do you have any tips for cutting through it? It's literally a pain in the hand😄
I swear by Xacto in everything except gatorboard… I’d say, the bigger the knife, the better. I always used the heavy metal box cutters, and went through blades quickly. Also leverage is a friend, I’d suggest lowering your work table to hip height so you can lean into it!
I love everything you make. Have to say though Idk why I always see people painting with brushes that are way too small for the job. You’re making more work for yourself!
Lol! I am lazy and never want to clean more than one brush. Because of that I often pick the brush that will do the most amount of detail work when I get to the corners which often means its too small for the larger easier areas.
@@BentleyHouseMinis I’ve found an amazing thing to clean brushes and paint and your hands and even to thin paint- hand sanitizer!!! It’s amazing.
I love your shirt!!!❤
Thank you!😄
😍❤😍❤😍❤
Gotta admit though, one of the funniest things in the digging scene in the movie is the VERY out of scale "Fragile" stamp on the piece of cardboard they dig up ;-)
I also don't know if you've discovered this trick yet, or maybe it doesn't work with the pink foam, but I've seen other creators use (I believe) acetone to 'melt' crags into foam.
😄😄 I noticed that too!! All I can picture is the set designer sitting down to watch the premiere of the movie they worked so hard on and then getting SO MAD when they get to that scene and realize the prop designer used regular cardboard. LOL!
I have not tried that yet but thank you for the reminder. I think I saw Nerdforge do it maybe?
@@BentleyHouseMinis Exactly. Nerdforge is where I've seen it the most.
Houses are Beautiful, great episode.
Thank you S!
I'm Glad beetlejuice is back and cant wait to see more
Me too! We have a whole new floor now ;) Next up in the process I think I am going to have to tackle the tower😮
Love how the Garage is looking. Never figured out from the movie where the stairs were exactly so maybe Delia simply overlooked them in her quest of adjusting the rest of the house to her taste.
Love the 'grave'hole you added, hoped you would. Just wondering why you didn't place the fake walls under the already existing clay layer? As that is what I would have done. :}
Thank you Yezzy! I can see her overlooking them or just thinking the garage was gross and choosing to ignore it😄 Just like she didn't seem to care that she didn't have access to the attic either. I wanted to add the fake walls underneath the existing clay but digging the foam and foil out was a pain and I figured just making a new clay layer would be an easier solution.
@@BentleyHouseMinis So a simple case of 'Work Smarter not Harder'.
And Delia clearly focused on the areas she could show off. :}
ahhhh i cant watch the whole thing until my next break!
Aww sorry! I hope work goes super well today!
This is such a complicated project it's impressive watching you pulling it all together step by step. My head would explode trying to figure this all out!
Step by step is the only way I can do it lol! Taking on too much at a time definitely results in burn out. I am so glad you are enjoying watching the process!
@@BentleyHouseMinis We're all enjoying it, thank you for making these videos!
Some yards have moles; this one seems to have a sandworm infestation!
Poooor poor Stormy, never seems to get picked up and cuddled...
I definitely think we will have to add some sandworms into this yard lol!! The problem is she gets so much attention off camera that she thinks she needs attention all while I am filming too😄
@@BentleyHouseMinis She's right!
Can we still send you mini houses? I had made one, but I think it got lost in the mail, so I was wondering if I could send you another. Edit, never mind, I saw the end of the video 😅
Oh no! I am so sorry to hear it got lost😔 I only have one other house that came after I finished editing this video but other than that I have shown them all. Definitely still send one in if you feel like remaking it!
@@BentleyHouseMinis I definitely want to!
tool? you bought a tool for the magician? Oh, toile. haaahahaha I'm easily entertained
I always pronounce something wrong lol! I have never heard it pronounce any other way for that one though ;)
@@BentleyHouseMinis Oh, I wasn't making fun of your pronunciation. I just thought it was funny that I thought tool like a wrench. Like I said, I'm easily entertained.
Love the Christmas sweater!
Thank you!
You definitely need a headstone and shovel for the grave now that you cut into base. The garage is really good. At least you don't need to make the car.
I am ok with leaving the car out... I can just pretend it's parked a bit further down the driveway😄 Thank you Anthony! I will be on the look out for a shovel... I had a really good one but it belongs to the Addams house.
@@BentleyHouseMinis It's probably been scrapped. There's water in the engine.
I love both the grave and the garage it's like little Easter eggs to find out.
So true! Thank you Zoe!
@@BentleyHouseMinis I was thinking could you put a little thing in there some where as a nod to your Addams family house
The garage came out so great and with such simple furnishing... of course the tiny houses really completed the look! I'm sure it's been suggested, but I would love to see Beetlejuice's headstone at the dig site.
Thank you Mike! I may still add it in the future, I just wasn't sure about it yet but I am glad I got the hole complete in case I do add it. I would have to figure out some way to light it up too!
I love your art 💕
Thank you!
It always makes my day when I see you’ve posted a new video. Thank you Ara!!! 💚💚💚 Happy Holidays to you and yours. 🎅🏼🎄🎁🤶🏻
Thank you Sara!! That means a lot to me! Happy Holidays!
This is some form of Inception…making a model of a model of a model. I love it! And the garage look incredible with all the miniature houses! Amazing work as always!
haha exactly! Someone asked if I was going to make a small table for the inside of the model of the house in the attic. Not sure I have that capability but it would be funny!
Omigosh, all the little houses! Wish my mind worked like yours, I can't imagine keeping it all straight! Thanks for sharing.
It all comes together in the end somehow. I don't know how lol but it does! Thanks for watching Melnie!
The hole in the back yard is very very cool! Once the magic of static grass and chunks of debris are in place, I think it’s gonna look amazing.
I am so excited to try out the static grass! I feel like its going to take me forever to get to that point lol!
