How much do you love Disney’s The Haunted Mansion? If you’re a big fan, you’ve surely made the trip to Disney to experience the dark ride attraction, you’ve seen the 2003 movie, and you’ll forever be bummed that Guillermo del Toro’s feature film adaptation never got off the ground. But you may not quite be the *biggest* fan of the attraction, we’re sorry to report.
That honor may now belong to Michael Collins, whose home office in Valencia, California recreates iconic imagery from inside The Haunted Mansion! As reported by The Orange County Register, Michael’s wife Donna Collins, also a big time fan of the classic ride, is responsible for creating his dream office, and she did it in just five days while he was out of town!
The site details the makeover, “She spent two days simply painting the ceiling, sponging Ralph Lauren metallic paint onto the molding, and then pale peach paint to reflect light and be easy on her husband’s eyes while he used the computer. Diligent research online led her to find Victorian floral wallpaper that matched the motif in the mansion’s foyer.”
Be sure to head over to The Orange County Register for more details about the transformation (actual tassels from the ride really tie the room together!), and to see all the photographs.
