Haunted Hills: A Beetlejuice-Inspired Miniature Farmhouse Diorama
I’m grinning like an undead realtor. This little white farmhouse—yep, the Beetlejuice house—is one of those minis that makes you lean in until your nose almost boops the porch rail. It’s all there: the steep gables, the watchtower with its prim little balustrade, the metal roof flashing just so, the sliver of hillside and that perfectly mustard station wagon at the bottom of the drive.

Miniature Enterprise-D Corridor Diorama: Teal Runner, Beige Edges, Pure 1990s Starfleet
Today’s star is a tiny slice of late-’80s and early 90s starship serenity: a miniature Enterprise-D corridor diorama with a teal carpet runner flanked by soft light-beige carpeting, bronze-tan ribs, and brushed metal side panels. It’s the kind of miniature model interior diorama that rewards a long look—octagonal frames marching toward the vanishing point, luminous step lights lining the base, and a coral door waiting at the end like it’s quietly judging your uniform code.
