WIP Haunted House Monday

Dragon's Eye
I am not getting much done on my house as you can see. I had some sales last week so had to get them packed up and mailed off. I was going to do wood flooring but changed my mind as I had a bunch of egg cartons so I will do some wood and some stone. I put a big dragon eye on one of the oval windows and glued some vintage glass jewels on the shutters, I have more window plans so I am not done. The floors in the kitchen and the Dragon room  (yes I said dragon room) are stones cut from egg carton, painted black and high lighted with brown, gray, green and tan to look like stone. I will seal them with a matte sealer after it drys overnight. Next I will stone the small room and put some trim and base board in the completed rooms. I hope the weather is better in your part of the world than here, snow and freezing temps here.

  2. You call THAT "not getting much done"??? Well, you said that, I would call that quite a progress... ;O) That dragon eye window is a fantastic idea, and the floor looks great. Unbelievable you've made it from an egg carton - or maybe ours in Germany are different from the US-versions...

    I can't wait to see more of you while not getting much done!
    Greetings

    Ara, I think I have more time on my hands than you do. This is my slow time of year.

    Birgit, The egg cartons are all different here, depends on the brand of eggs you get.

    Thank you Daydreamer. I have thought about the things I wanted in this house for a long time, a whole note book full infact :)

  15. I love the window with the eye, that's soooo different! The floors are fantastic and you would never guess it was card!!! Amazing look overall. :o))

    I know egg cartons and cereal box card make great covering for both floors and walls (you need to sand cereal box card with sand paper to give it texture). I plan on trying card for my new projects.

  16. I love the house, it looks great! What a wonderful idea to put that eye in the window!
    I just saw the Lord of the Ring movies again and it reminds me of the eye of Sauron! I hope this eye isn't as evil ;-)
