SERIES: Haunted Mansion Home Office - Stretching Room Bookcase

VanOaksProps continues their Haunted Mansion home office series by transforming a free IKEA Billy bookcase into a Stretching Room-inspired display piece for Haunted Mansion prop collection. Rather than building from scratch, the creator leverages IKEA hacking techniques combined with custom joinery, themed wallpaper, wood grain painting, and atmospheric lighting to achieve a cohesive themed aesthetic. The build balances budget-conscious sourcing — using a community Buy Nothing group for the base piece — with deliberate decorative detail. The result is a functional bookcase that doubles as an immersive Haunted Mansion display environment.

The result is a faithful replica architectural detail that anchors the room's theme-park aesthetic.

SERIES: Haunted Mansion Home Office Part 1 - Faux Wood Ceiling Medallion

VanOaksProps kicks off a multi-part series transforming a small home office into a Disney Haunted Mansion-inspired space. This first episode focuses on creating a faux wood ceiling medallion to complement a chandelier installation. The creator uses acrylic putty, primer, and layered paint and stain techniques to convincingly mimic aged wood grain on a non-wood surface. It's a budget-conscious decorating approach that delivers a high-impact, themed result.

Dripping Skull Candles 💀 DIY Halloween Props

Wicked Makers hosts Jaimie and Jay transform inexpensive plastic skulls into atmospheric dripping-candle props using just a few common materials. The build centers on melting candles over the skull to create a realistic wax-drip effect, finished with a dark wood stain for added depth. The project is explicitly beginner-friendly — a heat gun speeds things up, but an open flame can substitute. The result is a convincing, low-cost Halloween decoration that belies its simple construction.
