I was hearing the siren call of the local thrift store and had nothing better to do, so off I went. I found this, or most of it anyway:
This picture isn't mine. I snitched it off the Internet.
The one I found was missing all the accessories and a few decorative bits. The banisters for the rooftop patio were the biggest things, and I'm not planning to have a rooftop patio.
There's some damage to the paperboard backing. No biggie - I'll replace instead of covering up.
Counter top can be folded upright to be some sort of screen? Works great for my nefarious purposes.
The back couch cushions are a long plastic piece that can be lifted and popped into place under the window trim, in order to turn the living room into a bedroom. (Couch into a bed.)
Backing, smaller bits, and stickers removed. Ready for the dishwasher.
While the dishwasher is running, I get out my scrapbook paper and saved bits of packaging. This side will be the exterior walls.
This side is the interior decor.
A big fake window. A lovely view of historic Witch's Cove at sunset. Or is it sunrise?
The reverse - a mural of Windigo, the newest coaster in the park.
Oops. I broke and/or lost the little pegs to hold these in place. After saying a few bad words, I had to go with Plan B.
I'm not very happy with it, but it will serve until I come up with Plan C.
Sunflowers instead of the creek rocks.
And Witch's Cove has a new ticket booth! Nakoma especially likes the kitchenette for her lunch breaks. Anakin gives the couch a trial run. It's there for employees during down time, or when waiting for their ride home.
Anakin is being silly and pretending to buy a ticket even though he gets in free.
UPDATE: PLAN C
I wanted something to break up all that pink, but not a solid color. This galaxy print duck tape suits my purposes, carries through with a touch of pink, and (sorta kinda) follows the witch theme of the park's name.
I've been a trifle obsessed with using this packaging. I love the look of it! I giggled when I realized that the customer transaction window says "approach with extreme caution" under it.
Nice find! Have fun!
