The Aviary Motel

I chose the Aviary Motel from season 3, episode 10 for Sam's room in the A-Frame.  Who could resist its totally whack bird theme?  This mini motel room also featured in a flashback of scenes from that episode, titled "Dream A Little Dream Of Me."
Below, Dean and Sam prepare to drink a potion of African Dream Root.  Behind them you can see the giant headboard featured in this and many other motel rooms, the ornate lamp, forest-y artwork, and very busy bird-patterned wallpaper. 

My mini version of the scene, below.  The art behind Sam is a miniature of a Bob Ross painting.  The art behind Dean is a miniature of a vintage Mattel Little Theater playset.  The shag rug on the floor is a hand towel bought from a thrift store.  The blue bedspreads are cloth napkins, also thrifted.  I could not find anything even vaguely similar to the wallpaper, so I designed my own using bird and leaf stencils.




Below, a maid notices that something is wrong with Bobby Singer.  A glimpse of the wooden room divider with a repeating bird theme is visible behind her.  Above, the same scene in miniature.




I'm not happy with the room divider (above) and will eventually try to re-do it using polymer clay instead of cut out cardboard.


Above:  a blurry view of the sitting area beyond Sam's size fourteen boots.  Below:  the brothers have a talk in front of peacock wall art.


Below:  Sam kisses Bella Talbot in front of a similar painting and the room divider.  I do hope to one day reproduce the bar and add a  miniature version of that fabulous green hanging lamp to Sam's 1:6 scale room.




Below, miniature recreations of scenes of the boys searching Bobby's motel room for clues, followed by the original scenes from the show.  Sam's desk is made of wood grain-printed cardboard from an old "study carrel" discarded by the school I used to work at.  The brown wall is egg carton "bricks" glued over paper mache "mortar".
