When LEGO goth queen Pernilla Johansson (legonillan) shows up with her sigfig, you know things are about to get spooky! The Swedish builder found a lot to love about the recent Beauty and the Beast Castle, but the lilac and gold simply would not do for Pernilla’s coterie of vampires and ghouls. In Extreme Makeover: LEGO Home Edition fashion, Pernilla strips the castle down to the studs and paints it black.
Of course, a project like this is too big for one minifig, so legonillan invites a few sigfig friends to help out with the remodel. Even some hitchhiking ghosts get into the spirit of things.
Pernilla matches the original castle nearly brick-for-brick, while adding additional flourishes like bats and spooky foliage. It’s a great example of the joy that comes from treating official sets as a jumping off point for creativity.
This spin on the Beauty and the Beast castle is absolutely genius! ???? Turning lilac and gold into gothic black with bats and spooky foliage brings such a moody, dramatic vibe—perfect for Pernilla’s style. I love how the build respects the original while completely transforming its atmosphere. It makes me want to experiment more with dark fantasy aesthetics in my own LEGO builds. Thanks for sharing this inspiring project!
