Making the Kitchen ISLAND for my Beetlejuice DOLLHOUSE! 🖤🤍🖤🤍

[@kaisoep]

Hearing you say "this is all I was able to accomplish in this video" made me sad because it should be "this is everything I accomplished" because you did do a lot and you did it very well! I hope you know that and if not, I'm here to tell you that you did a great job and you made people happy and you inspired people with this video. Because of your video, I have decided that one day, when the time is right, I am going to stop everything I was doing and take a couple months off to build a dollhouse and fullfill my dreams!

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

thank you for this reminder Kaisoep! I used to push myself a lot harder to try and get more done, but I got exhausted doing that. So I guess I compare what I get done now to what I used to do. BUT I am much happier with the speed that I do things now so I have time for family and other activities. Thank you for reminding me of that! I am so excited that you are planning on your own build!! ❤

[@andreavictoriaparadiso47]

@@BentleyHouseMinis I was the same. Compared myself to what I used to get done. But I have to remind myself that the projects are waaaay bigger and more complex each time and Rome was not built in a day. Go the distance!

The chair and desk are great. I am in the market for a new chair. You did a wonderful job on the kitchen and island. I think Delia would want to face the door of the kitchen and have her back to the wall. Everything looks wonderful!!!! Glad Stormy was there to help you build the furniture. And thanks to your sister for helping with the resin! The new house additions are perfect!!! Thanks for sharing ❤

I like the island next to the wall, but I think the middle of the room might actually be better as it looks more like the kitchen in the movie. But you do it the way you want! Either way looks good.

Thank you, Ara, for giving so many of us supporting roles in your production. That we all want to be part of it is a testament to what an inspiration you are to us. I love absolutely everything about the kitchen, especially the resin work tiles and that gorgeous fridge you can't seem to keep your hands off of😆! I don't blame you...if it were mine I wouldn't either. Now you have a wonderful "licked approved" director's chair and desk and it looks wonderful for you and Stormy to snooze on after a long, hard day at the studio. Everybody's little houses are fantastic. I love Jasmine's outhouse, Renee's tree, Beverly's tools and Billy's Dutch Boy paint cans. You deserve lots of lines on the board on this one!

Wow! The island looks amazing! I like it in the middle of the room.

[@MikeEPerez]

Fantastic! I love the way it all came out. And you know, I'm sure Delia had to work around some funky foundation issues, too, during her house renovation. Personally, I think the best orientation for the island is how you have it at 24:31. Seems to fit well, it's movie-accurate, and it leaves space for clearance around the doors and fridge.

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Haha you are probably right! I can see her popping walls out everywhere to get the exact look that she wants ;) Thank you for your input on the island!

@@BentleyHouseMinis, I utilize a lot of 1/4" and 1/2" hardware cloth scraps for my mini-making. I've often wished the wire was thicker to do exactly what you did with the resin.

[@DiannelLaird]

It all turned out so beautifully. I love the glass block island and the blue walls look so great. You did a fantastic job with the resin.

[@ebraunstein8212]

A "stovecove", if you will. Honestly, I think the kitchen Delia and Otho created is a little more fun and interesting than the Maitland's original cottagecore style kitchen. I know I said in previous videos that I really liked the Maitland's house before the crazy makeover, but the kitchen became a fast favorite for its slick look and I loved the electric blue walls. I wish we could have seen more of the kitchen in the movie, but I find it more fun to come up with your own garish Delia and Otho inventions for each space.

Let me start by saying that I love the size of that Island. It is so Delia any smaller would just not have felt right. And I believe having it right and center is the best option, with the cooknook and removable wall behind it. And what a smart way to do the walls. Paint first install later, will have to remember that. :} ps Yay for the new Dex/desk.

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

I think you are right about the size... Delia wouldn't have it any other way! I think all her furniture is more of an art display than anything else lol! I am glad you liked the process... I will try almost any technique to keep my foam board from warping😄

[@lyndiutter4519]

[@ZoeShears]

I think the sheer size of the island will make it complicated to find the right spot, but saying that I love how you have it placed in the center. I also love the pot holes on the surface, it's like Delia got too heavy handed making things. Also we need Stormy merch 😂

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

😄😄 Great point... perhaps she was making some of those monstrous sculptures up there! Haha I will keep that in mind!

[@VeganAtheistWeirdo]

At first when you mentioned what kind of floor Delia would have, I guessed marble, but as soon as I saw your speckled concrete I knew you were right. 🤣 That came out gorgeous! I don't like concrete floors because I prefer a little springiness where I walk, but also because whenever I see it, typically it just screams _lifeless trend chaser aesthetic_ to me. Yours was actually something I'd admire, so that's saying something, trust me. I remembered you had some issues with your block wall, so I was excited to see how the island would go. Tell your sis she is the resin MVP! Having someone experienced help you through using the product on an important project was a smart move that definitely paid off. Plus I agree that the texture of the alternating line pattern actually made it look even better. The museum is definitely going to want this house! It is huge in that kitchen, but it's probably accurate to the set proportions. I think centered with the length putting the sink toward the stovetop nook looks best. As for the countertop finish... (warning: long speculative/experimental suggestion incoming) next time you need to do a super smooth glossy finish over paint to emulate marble or glass or stone, maybe try adding a layer of that resin. Obviously you'd want to test this on a few samples made of the same material first, but what I'm thinking is, much like the life-size projects that makers finish with resin, the liquid will self-level and protect all in one. For a countertop with a rounded lip (or possibly for any miniature that only needs a very thin coat), rather than building a form around the countertop to contain the resin layer, I'm thinking just set up a reservoir/catch basin. As long as your catch basin is bigger than your project's surface on all sides, you should be good to go. Put a riser inside the basin to hold some pins for the countertop to rest on, and mix up enough resin to cover the surface plus a bit extra for runoff. If you use a bowl/dish made of silicone for the basin, I think many resins can be peeled off of that once they've cured, and you would have a clean bowl ready to use again.

Oh Stormy, you are so helpful. When are you going to take over the business? 😛 So, I am not sure why you were so nervious, the kitchen island turned out great! I have to say, while (I think?) it was Jazza that recommended this craft channel as a fellow maker way back in the day, it was your work on the stain-glass windows for the Captain's quarters that really made me fall in love with this channel. Ever since, miniature "glass" work facinate me in modelling! 😀 Glass block partitions/walls is also very nice in RL if done well. You should be proud of it, even the tabletop itself even if it had some... No, there are no flaws, just happy accidents! I know you have to follow the wall s tyle as shown in the movie, BUT I just have to say that the halfway point with teh blue on white looked really good, nice contrast. Maybe revisist that part in another project in the future? Just a thought. 😉 Also another thought, bringin in extended family in one way or another really boosts the enjoyment factor. I am not saying put the any which way in every video (except Stormy!) but maybe when it is applicable. Your daughter DID do a good job standing in when your voice failed, and your sis fit in nicely to aid you in doing the things you were worried about. I mean, you are still the main attraction here but that does not mean yyou have to do everything new without help. Though I HAVE to admit it is sort of fun watching you fumble through learning new tools. Nothing BAD about that, everyone learning a new skill or tool have to go throught the same process. If anything I am proud of you for ACTUALLY doing it on camera. And you DO improve and it is now part of your tool-kit. Well done! Man I am rambling, sorry about that. 😐Again, well done! Bit late, the video sort of went unnoticed in my feed for a few days, I DO enjoy you making the Beetejuice house/underworld. I keep saying I should re-watch the movie - I will! I promise. Some day... 😛

Amazing Ara!! I'm so glad that resin worked out for you I have watched your catastrophic moment long ago...I understand that feeling! But wow it was so clear you couldn't even tell it was there on some parts! I would definitely want to redo the window as well.

My husband needs a desk and chair like that.he has a bad back and works from home.

It took me until the end of the video, to realize you didn't mean he has a desk like Delia :DD

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

It's really nice to be able to adjust it for the type of work I am doing and make myself sit up straight👍 I have back issues too so I know how important ergonomics can be!

Awesome desk. I am glad to see this project coming along quickly. I think you just might beat your 11 year record on this one compared to the Addams mansion. I absolutely love the fridge and how it looks with the rest of the kitchen. I dunno its just something about the blue walls that make everything pop.

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

I really hope I am able to beat that record! I would really love to have it finished up sometime in 2025. But that year is coming up faster and faster lol! Thank you so much Jay!

So it epic... Thou I would never guess its a sink if you didn't say it xD ...those glass panels stunning 🖤

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

😄😄 that makes it all the more perfect for Delia I think! Thank you Morgana!

Let's hear it for sisters who craft. Sisters unite!

This looks so great! In my opinion the kitchen island needs to be in the middle even ifnit looks a bit big - but at a wall sideways it doesn’t make sense for me. I’m courious where you will put it once the project is finished 😅

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Thank you Claudia!! I hope to be able to display it like I have the Addams Family house... after that I have no idea!😄

[@shannonmac7708]

Yey! I haven’t watched it all yet! But what does everybody thing of beetlejuice 2?

[@NecrossVamp]

I came here so fast ❤

[@Pinkstars1605]

The counter top kind of looks like terrazzo, delia is the kind of personality who would have one 😅.

That is a pretty cool table. love how stormy is stealing the show. I've had that same problem with that glaze, I had to let it sit for like a week before it stopped being takky. in the movie I think the island is at a 45 degree angle to the wall, it's a odd set up, so call it a floating island. haha.

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

She always steals the show which is why I have to show her sparingly lol! No one will want to see the miniatures anymore😄 I am glad to know I was not the only one who had issues with that glaze. I guess I will let things sit longer if I use it again! Thank you JD!
