The Von Spüken Hotel, The Sitting Room

The Sitting Room ... 

a room of memories since forgotten.

Once you exit the elevator, you enter the sitting room.

Complete with a fireplace, old pictures, phonograph ...

a dusty piano ... 

and a game of chess.  

I bought this "haunted portrait" at Target, used an old

lamp shade, vintage looking record player, 

and cane with air-dry clay to create the phonograph.

We used an economy size of baking soda to create the dust.

The mantle is adorned with candelabras I bought several

years ago at Target, the Von Spüken Hotel logo and a portrait of Mr. Von Spüken himself.

I followed a project tutorial found in the Better Homes and Gardens

Halloween special.  It was titled "Mount a ghoulish stairway exhibit".

Of course I modified it to suit my needs and taste.

The Von Spüken Hotel, The Game Room

The Game Room ... 

Hunting tales and trophies fill the room.

The Haunted Grandfather Clock.
We made a cd with ghost sounds and whispers and
placed speakers inside it to make guests think it really
is haunted.  Also, we made it so there will be a spooky
Grandfather clock sound every 30 minutes.

Our Hunter trophies.
We were so excited when we saw these 3 animal masks
at a party store back in August.  We bought them and
never looked back.  I think they add a creepy vibe to the game room.

Well that's all for now.  I will be posting more photos of the complete Game room,

the kitchen, our Singing Ghost, and our dance room.  

I'm also planning on making a video walk through of the whole house.

Happy October!!
