Do you have a favorite childhood movie or a story that you wish you could live out in real life? What if you could recreate the feeling of it right in your own home? Well, turns out it's actually possible.
That's exactly what Brian Thompson did in his bedroom when he transformed it into a Hogwarts-inspired masterpiece and on a budget.
He got the inspiration for this project after visiting the Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Studios.
And he did on a barista's budget.
He knew it would be a challenge.
He then used cinder block-sized insulation foam boards to create the brick walls.
Then he covered everything in a thick layer of caulking to protect it and to be able to paint everything.
He then painted the wires black as well as the ceiling and distributed the lights across the "sky".
What a clever idea!
Brian then painted them gold to give them that Harry Potter style. Whoa!
Doing it all on a barista's salary was really tough. But overall, he estimates this project cost him $1,500.
I can't believe he was able to create this magical and enchanted scene by only spending $1500. This looks like it cost way more.
And then compare it to the way it looks now. That's definitely a big difference. It's like a different world.
For him, it was all about the challenge and not really the final result.
All it takes is some creativity, commitment, and hard work. Amazing!
And Brian is living proof of this. Indeed.
