As much as I'd love to do that, it doesn't seem likely to happen... at least not any time soon. I have too many other things going on in my life right now to even think about starting another shadow box. *sigh*.... but I wish.... :(

I enjoyed reading about all the craft projects going on and was very happy at the end to see some pictures of the much discussed shadow box. Wow! Impressive! Thanks for re-posting some images.

I want to start my Disney Guest Bathroom. I'm not sure if I want a Mickey bathroom, or Haunted Mansion. I think I would love a Haunted one, with the wallpaper etc but don't know where to start. Any ideas?

Found some online. It is a bit pricey, but it would really look cool! Here is a link ~

Very nice! It might be expensive but it's a small bathroom so it wouldn't be that much. I wonder, what would it look like to mix Haunted Mansion Wallpaper with Mickey Mouse fixtures? Maybe weird. But I can't find Mickey Fixtures anyways...

I wish there was a Home decorating store in Downtown Disney. Someplace to sell everything you would need to decorate your house!! It would be dangerous for me! :shock:

Actually if you can use the smaller pieces of wallpaper, it wouldn't be very expensive at all. Perhaps you could paper just one wall and paint the other in HM colors? And yes, it might look a little strange to mix the two. I'm guessing you can find a lot of the accessories you need for decorating in the World of Disney store, but wouldn't it be fun to have a whole store like you mentioned?! :mickey:

That's a good idea, Amy!
It's funny that I happened to see this today, since I saw a post on FB today from someone who bought from this [spoonflower] site. Except, what this person bought was HM wallpaper inspired fabric. I couldn't believe it! It is giving us ideas for future projects though.... :roll:

The first thing that popped up was the fabric, but I found the wallpaper without too much problem then. There are also shower curtains which would be cool! :hm_ghost:

Yeah...if you did the wallpaper I would just do one wall as an accent wall. That way it draws attention to the pattern without it being too much. Think about when you see the wallpaper during the attraction...it's dark and you hardly notice it.

Another idea would be to theme it after the stretching room. So you'd have the striped wallpaper up top...then wainscoting paneling at the bottom. You could also have your favorite of the 4 portraits in there. This way you get the theme...but in a very cool and imaginative way.
