Popular Post nukeswife Posted May 19, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted May 19, 2015 My oldest son will be 16 in two days and I always try to do some fun gift of him. He already got a laptop from his dad and I, so I decided to paint the doorway to our playroom like a Tardis. Since its only a single door I'm making it look like it landed half way in the hall. It works perfect because if you look at this closed door in our house it's at the very end of the hall and looks like it should be a closet, but when you open it there's a 550sqft finished game room behind it. So it's.... wait for it... Bigger on the Inside! It's not the best picture because it's still leaning up against things in the garage so the paint can dry. I used left over paint from the accent wall in my daughter's room. The sign is metal and I got it on Amazon. I also have a light fixture I painted with glow in the dark paint I can hang above it to look like the light on top. 59 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mom2att Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Well done--I love it! And so appropriate that it's bigger on the inside! Just make sure no one spray paints "Bad Wolf" on it when you're not looking! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrixieB Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Here's his cakes for tomorrow. I still have to put the birthday greeting on, but I think for having two days to make these I did ok. Those are awesome! What did you use for frosting that looks so perfectly smooth? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nukeswife Posted May 20, 2015 Author Share Posted May 20, 2015 Those are awesome! What did you use for frosting that looks so perfectly smooth? It's iced with buttercream and then I covered that with rolled fondant. Fondant is actually a lot easier to use than I thought. PS: the bowtie is white chocolate I melted and colored. I found the mold at Hobby Lobby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nukeswife Posted May 20, 2015 Author Share Posted May 20, 2015 I think I might add some pound cake cut into strips and rolled in graham cracker crumbs with a side of vanilla pudding (Fish Fingers and Custard) and then printing out a pic of Matt Smith's head with a speech bubble that says, "Fezzes are Red, The Tardis is Blue, Your 16 Today, Happy Birthday to you. Geronimo! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geronimo! It would taste MUCH better than actual fish fingers & custard, which I made at the request of one of my kids. Well, I suppose individually they're fine, but together.... blech! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

athomeontheprairie Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Love the door :-) Here is a picture of my library's youth room ETA: ok, my photos won't load. I wish there was a mobile option for pics. Just know the TARDIS in my library is awesome. But not nearly as great as your door! Yours is fantastic!
