I unfortunately had to remove this last year due to the writers strike, so if you saw it previously be sure to show some love 🫶 FUN FACT: The tiles in the Atrium (and throughout the Ministry of Magic) were made out of thick cardboard, as actual ceramic tiles would have been very expensive to produce. Each "tile" underwent a lengthy painting process to give them the look of real ceramic tile. Over 30,000 individually placed tiles were used.

YOu added all the charm and aesthetic required to give the vibe you were going for. You certainly should start in the set design and decorating business, you have so much imagination and knowledge of how to achieve that certain look you are going for. Again I love it. I have been an interior decorator for 50 years and always admire the ability in those people who can achieve an illusion to the point of being realistic. Good on ya girly !!!

Oh I love it & I'm not even a Harry Potter geek but the best thing (other than everything) is that you have a passion for something & you are living out that passion. Take it from an old lady---NEVER lose that! OK---so the tapestry is amazing but since yoo did the amazing Hogwarts castle painting in 35 minutes I'm thinking you could have painted your own tapestry in, what,90 minutes? The wall sconces were incredible, you nailed the look., the other thrifted items were perfect, the stone wal was excellent. I hope you will replicate this (or have already) in your new place & when you do, get several sizes & shapes of sponges & use them to stamp the wall with a base color & then paint up the stone look---or you coud go crazy & make papier-mache stones. Or you could order the foam stones you were talking about. I just hope you do another Common Room!

Thank you so much for putting this back up! I am planning to redo my bedroom as a Gryffindor common room this year and am getting so many ideas from this on what to start looking for and thrifting. I have two windows to try and work around but maybe I can find some photos of the tour in London to see what they did as I doubt my parents would let me paint the wood frames black but maybe a darker stain could be agreed upon. I love that little suitcase side table that is so freaking cute! Would love to know where you got it from! Got any ideas on how to upgrade a bedroom door and a sliding piano hinged closet doors? I know a lot of people paint the marauders map on their closet doors and I’ve debated it but I think I wanna keep them wood you know? I really wanna keep the aesthetic of the Gryffindor common room and not make it look like a little kids bedroom make over.

If you’re looking for a easier way to make the “stone" wall, I saw a woman on you tube tape off the grout lines and go over it with with joint compound to create a stone/brick effect. Then she pulls the tape off and it gives it a 3d stone look. Then you can paint them however you need to after it’s dry.

Lanchen, beautiful reveal, but as looking at the stone wall, the grout is too white, like bathroom white, just smudge some light gray in and out of the lines some,for a more ancient look, and the sconces on each side put a little higher than the picture so that the lights don’t compete with your picture,and it may make your room have a taller illusion.Love the divider very much, you’ll need a hint brighter desk light to show off your items better.
