The Beetlejuice Waiting Room🖤🤍💚 Part 3 - All the Furniture and Mini Accessories!

[@christineingram55]

This is coming together and looking totally amazing.I love how you think of every little detail and try hard to get as much accuracy into each setting.This was one of my favourite parts of the film.This and the part where they brought them together in the dining room inside their wedding attire I think this was such a well thought out film.Funny with a little scary..Perfect for kids like me lol.Can’t wait for the next section of this .Really exciting 🥰

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Oh yes! I will definitely have to find away to have their wedding attire floating somewhere in the house since that's such an iconic scene (they all are really lol!) Funny with a little scary is perfect for me too!

[@FoolSilver]

Gaddam that room is lookin trippy!! I love that effect the floor gives. Awesome looking project

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

😊 Thank you!! Trippy is definitely what I am going for!

[@tinynina76]

The waiting room looks awesome! All of those details make it rich with atmosphere. I will love seeing the dolls for the waiting room being created! Thank you so much for this project on Beetlejuice. It's a lot of work, but your talent always comes through!

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

I am so excited to start on the dolls too! I can't wait!

Hello Hope all is well with you and your family. This project is so amazing. You are so talented

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Thank you Erica! We are well and I hope you are too!

[@georgetteanderson8980]

So clever, I love this waiting room.

[@ZoeShears]

That waiting room looks amazing 👏

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Thank you Zoe!

[@kat3910]

Absolutely fantastic. I have used your paint/modpodge combo to make "leather" before, but I like the idea of only needing one step to dry instead of two, so I will try the fabric medium. I LOVE LOVE LOVE how the waiting room is turning out! Its all about the details, and the filing cabinets, now serving sign, tickets, turn style, speaker - everything is just so spot on that it makes for an amazing look. Can't wait to see the ceiling video!

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

I think I prefer the fabric medium method too and will do that more in the future! I am so glad you liked the results! Thank you Kat!

[@Starrynightdiner]

The chairs are darker where the skin touches the wood. So the seats are darker cause lots of butt naked people have been sitting in them…haha. Just teasing you. They look great.

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

😄😄 You never know... people die in all sorts of ways! Thank you Ellen!

[@TheUndeadOfNight]

The waiting room is coming alive . The books, take-a-ticket machine , pictures , lamps and information sign really sets the mood . The lighting is going to be the icing on the cake . This would be a great project to use an Arduino , you could control all of your lighting and have a real speaker in your speaker box playing the announcements . Looking forward to seeing the ceiling , thanks for the constant inspiration . Tom

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

I do actually plan to put in a speaker and play some of the sounds track🎵 I think I have made things really complicated for myself though lol! I looked into Arduino and I do want to try them out one day! I am so glad you liked the results😊

[@jennylawson1980]

I am totally in awe. The waiting room is beyond wonderful. This is truly a miniature movie set. You Ara are amazing. Everything turned out down to the tiniest detail. I can’t wait to see everything together. I really love ❤️ the longer videos too.

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Thank you Jennifer😊 I appreciate it!

[@daalelli]

Totally loving this build. It's one of my favorite aesthetics. It was neat to learn in one of your past videos that you were an architect. I can totally see it in how you design.

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Thank you Daisy! I never made it to fully licensed architect but I did work in a firm for 4 years. I didn't realize how I would be using what I was learning in school😄

[@escapedgoat5865]

Man your really on it getting alot done on this project and pumping out the videos. Thanks for sharing.

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Thank you Justine! I feel like it's going slowly so I am glad to know it doesn't seem that way on your end!

[@rachaelkasper5445]

The evolution of this space is fascinating to see and inspiring! Modifying furniture doesn't seem so daunting, now. Thank you! The art is spot-on and I love the reading material. I'm excited to see all the people sitting there waiting. This is such a fun journey!

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Modifying furniture can be so fun! I am glad the video helped you feel a little more comfortable with the process. I just had to add a 'Miniature collector' magazine in there for my own enjoyment😄 Thanks Rachael!

[@DRN]

The brown paint is back!! This turned out really cool, I love the tables that you made! They are just perfect!!

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Lol yes! I had to get my favorite paint color in there! Thank you Daniela!

[@Lupin3rd1980]

Incredibly, this is the waiting room to life after death. Really good, for everyone who has to wait there, the absolute horror and that's how it should be. ^^ 👍

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

A fate worse than death... the waiting room😄 Thank you Jens!

[@tellyisdreaming]

I finally caught up to the latest video! It's looking so amazing. To be honest, I've never watched Beetlejuice, but I do love miniatures so I'm here to mostly admire haha. Also, "the floor is her territory", my dog seems to think the same. You get too close to the floor and there Katara is, shoving her little nose into you.

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Hahaha! Yes... it's like sitting on the floor is a magnet to pups! I am so glad you are enjoying the videos!

[@composing-chaos]

The 3-D printer lines give the lamps a “pottery” look.

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

I was worried about those but you're right! Happy accident ;) Thanks Robin!

[@DiannelLaird]

I absolutely love the waiting room. I think you nailed it so far. I can’t wait to see it all lit up. It’s funny how invested (or at least I do) your followers become in your builds. Thank you so much Ara, for allowing all the us to learn from one of the best.🙏🏼🥰

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Thank you Dianne💖💖 I love that part of the channel too! I feel like they become group projects in the end sometimes!

Yes! We had that and a larger corner one growing up in my parents house. West Coast U.S. 😊

[@debbralehrman5957]

Dang Girl you are amazing!👍 Your years of working on the Addams Family House sure paid off. The way you figure little ways to workout things in miniature. This is one of the reasons I so enjoy your videos.

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Definitely! I would not be able to do a lot of these rooms without what I learned from the Addams. 11 years of training there lol! Thank you Debbra!

[@yezzyjames]

That faux leatherlook on the sofa, just great. love the lamps and tables. This room is turning out looking so amazing. So many little details that really help 'flesh' out the scene. :}

[@suzangrumetti1227]

OMG... I love this SO. MUCH ! It looks so freakin' amazing.... this may be my favorite room in my favorite project... that ticket machine just blew my mind...🤯 simply perfect... and you really captured the 1950s vibe with the lamps, ( which DO look like ceramic btw ), the tables were spot on... lol... My elderly neighbor had the exact same ones in her house 🤣... I also learned about microwaving to soften glue, thanks for the tip! The desk area with the ticket machine and those filing cabinets... I just can't even.. honestly I just can't 😃 ... and yes, even though the chairs will be covered by the people the eye for detail still shines through... especially for the wooden chairs ... it adds subtle atmosphere that we unconsciously notice and it counts. I am in awe!!! You puppers is so darn cute.... Thank you for sharing, I love your videos and your talent... see you for the next one xxx

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

I am so glad you like how everything turned out! I had so much fun with this one! The microwave trick can be really helpful but just always do it in intervals... I had a friend stink up her house for days with an over fried mini chair!

[@suzangrumetti1227]

Oooo... thx... thats a good tip... mini chair stink o.O and I saw you posted another one 🥰 I'm saving it for after supper... I always cast to my TV so I see all the details... lol xxx

cant wait for the ceiling one it looks so good!

[@DeeEll86442]

🙋🏼‍♀️Hi, I love watching your videos, but I’m curious🤔 Have you ever tried priming your fabrics with Gesso? A canvas is made of fabric so Gesso might give you a good base coat to apply your paint to, and Gesso comes in black, white, grey, and clear. I also build doll houses and 1/16 scale rooms and since I’m also a painter/sculptor/cake decorator/ etc… I try to use the tools, supplies, and mediums from these other crafts into my miniature projects. I also buy extra fondant molds to create different molded pieces for my miniatures. I hope this helps. Take care, Dee😊

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Hi Dee! I have not tried that before but I think it would be interesting to see the results. I imagine it will make the fabric really stiff but that effect might be helping in some ways... you never know! I have seen the items in the cake isle and definitely thought about grabbing them for mini use lol!

[@cat3crazy]

I've been enjoying watching the Beetlejuice project come together. So much so, that I purchased a copy of the movie. It's the 20th anniversary edition! No wonder my memory is a bit fuzzy about the details. LOL I order a shirt and a couple of items from your store. I can't wait to get the shirt. I wonder how many people will be asking about the meaning of the 1/12 scale. It's going to be fun. Take care of your wrists and have a wonderful week.

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

The shirts will definitely be a good way to start a conversation I think!! It amazes me how many times I have watched the movie and I still find new details each time. So much is crammed in there! Thank you so much💖

[@andreavictoriaparadiso47]

I'm totally delighted, charmed and captivated by your work on this project, especially the accessory details like the ticket machine, signs, etc.. They are lovely! I thought you used ceramic beads for the lamp so your painting was spot on. It's so good to see an artist put so much attention to detail in their work, maybe because it's my favorite part to do on my own projects and a lot of people unfortunately can't relate to the supreme thrill of that (lol!). The ceiling is stupendous! I can't wait to see how you did it and it really tricks the eye into going wonky. As for Stormy, my own doggie loved to come to my room and lie around while I worked secretly on Christmas presents. I would chase him out, though, when the time came for his and he didn't much appreciate that. My kitties were another matter; nothing would stop them from trying to stop me. What they say about kitties being Prima Donas is true. I could never get anything done. But I loved every one of them just the same. I read that Einstein and Hemingway had the same problem...we are in great company!

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

I think the little details are my favorite part too! Whatever can be done to get THAT much closer to realism is exciting! Our studio buddies are the best aren't they? I find Stormy brings a calming presence by just taking her little nap in the corner lol!

[@michaellindsey1543]

Good choice in dogs. I chose poorly and have two hundred pound shepherds. You will not get any work done, and may not even get back up and they NEVER tire. . . Sigh. . . Once again you are doing solid museum quality work! You are so cautious I was a little surprised to see you dipping your finger in the paint. While this is pretty safe with water based acrylics many of the other products you use have a toxic component so sensitive people need to use care. Using a little artistic license is never an issue. Even in the movie set they are using 10 plus digit numbers on the tickets yet they have a two digit "now serving" sign.

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Yes there is definitely a difference in dealing with an 8 pound dog verses 2 100 pound dogs lol! It is water based acrylics that I am using... I probably should have specified that!

[@bluegreen5377]

Every time I watch it, until you add that black circle to the speaker I don't see it at all, but as soon as paint's there, it's like I'm looking at a real miniature speaker. Another amazing video, it feels like you're flying through the underground scenes, though I'm sure it doesn't feel like it to you.

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Thank you! I was so happy that paint trick worked out! I only have 2 underworld scene left which kind of makes me sad honestly lol!

I absolutely love all of it. The speaker is so simple but so fun. That nipper tool is very interesting. I can't imagine what it's for but it was a perfect tool for the task. My cat, Banner, is my Stormy. He climbs in my lap and comes right back when I put him down. I'm off to get a T-shirt before they're gone.

Thank you!! The nibbler tool is actually for sheet metal surprisingly. I use mine on matboard and it works pretty well :) Sounds like Banner is just as helpful as Stormy lol!

[@JonathanBeaudoin-fq8tt]

Good job! I like what you made and incorporating your touch in the frames. I was wondering if you had the list of the painting to help my research of those pictures?

[@jesperlivid9184]

If people want to be able to recreate the 'INFORMATION' sign or any other small lettering without having to hand cut the letters or paint them yourself, look into mini resin/scrapbooking letter stickers! There's plenty of fonts and I believe they can come in pretty small sizes. It may be hard to find ones perfectly in scale but hopefully not impossible, especially with ordering online!

Hi Ara, as always I express to you my admiration for the professionalism and commitment you dedicate to the art of miniaturist in which you are always very creative and ingenious. I've been following you for years now and, even if sometimes late, I don't miss any of your videos that are for me just a vacation from everyday life. Speaking of holidays, I would have liked to order a T-shirt but when I went to the shop, at the time of check out I regretted that you ship all over the world, even to Burkina Faso but not to Italy, my country. 😞

[@miippi]

Rather than using fabric medium, you can also use fabric softener. I have used it to both dye and paint on fabrics, and even tossed them into the washer, and the colours stayed on. It's so much cheaper to use, and most people have it at home. It keeps the acrylic paint malleable and not crusty. So it doesn't feel uncomfortable to wear if you want to paint like t-shirt or something.

Yeah the shipping ended up being steep and the shipping is all up to the company that is making the shirts. I am definitely taking notes on everyone's feed back so if I do t-shirts again in the future I know more of what to research and ask questions about in the future. Asking more of the details on shipping is definitely one of them! I will be adding your suggestion of slower shipping options for the future.

This is looking really awesome!!

I think the word you may have been thinking of was electrical? "Electronical" might not be a word but "electronically" is so I totally get why you'd be confused, I was confused just looking it up 😂

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

😄😄 Thank you for looking it up for me! It all gets jumbled in my brain sometimes lol!

Is the extra painting you added a Bob Ross? It looks super familiar! I've never seen Beetlejuice before, but I still have been loving this series. Everything is just that much extra challenging and it's super fun to see how you tackle it. Can't wait for August!

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

No I don't think it is a Bob Ross but now I am wondering if Bob ever painted a covered bridge like that? I know he did structure every now and then. I am so glad you enjoyed it! I am excited for August too!

Fabulous! My wee dog also demands attention, usually when I'm just getting on a roll. Ara, have you tried adding cornstarch to your craft paint to make it more opaque? It's a "hack" I saw on another channel, and now I'm curious! If I were about to paint something, I would definitely try it.

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

I haven't tried that before! I definitely will... I just need to add it to my shopping list lol! Thank you Meg!

[@kitschydevil]

Wow I am so excited about this series!

A good idea before painting fabric paint coat the piece in mod podge.

[@adriennemcclain9853]

Love the experimentation. This project is soooo much fun! If you wet the material and then paint with chalk paint and a wet brush, the fabric comes out more fabric looking. I use this on full size furniture :)

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Thank you Adrienne! I am excited to try the chalk paint technique!

I have never done a miniature, despite my shortcoming (ha) I love your channel! Due to my lack of experience I suffer from not understanding the time and skill that goes into the projects. All of that to say, I don't know much, but this Beetlejuice waiting room is one of my favorites so far!

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

I always love hearing that people who don't make minis still enjoy my videos! That means a lot to me! Thank you😊

[@PrimarchEldarAutarch]

Bridges and water are also common themes in many old cultures of what happened to people after they died: they had to cross a bridge or water to get to where the afterlife was. (river Styx, Bridge to Niflheim, Polynesian water entrance to the afterlife, etc.) - so they are possibly multipurpose in movie :)

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

I think you are right! I want to do more research on this in the future. Its fascinating!

[@karinasanchez3285]

You are so very very talented!!!! Once again, a most enjoyed video in your Beetlejuice series. I think the end result will be absolutely fantastical ✨👍🙌

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Thank you so much Karina!

[@celestemudrich5798]

Love this so much! Thank you!

[@xHarpyx]

It’s all coming together!

[@sarahjames8658]

I am really enjoying this series. Haven't seen Bettlejuice in years but lovely all your creative solutions to (miniature) problems. Great work!!

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Thank you Sarah!! It feels like problem solving is 50% of this art form sometimes lol!

[@teddybeeandme]

Worth waiting for! This room is looking amazing.🥰 It's the attention to all the little details that make is special. Looking forward to the next installment in the 'trilogy in four parts'.... so long and thanks for the vids 😂

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Thank you Sarah!! It's been fun to create all the little bits!

[@Voirreydirector]

Well done, dear, your furniture with nods to the last century are quite interesting. I think perhaps you and your young viewers might not realize that the glues in such furniture often did seep out and darken things, but the biggest culprit was cigarette smoke! That’s particularly why those big beige barrel lamp shades barely emit light as well. I am so glad you are not of a generation that experienced that.

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Great point about the smoke. I do plan a little bit more discoloration once the people are in place... there is a smoking guy there after all!
