In one old house, when they opened the wall, was insulated with vintage movie posters. The homeowner worked in a movie house. He would bring the old posters home and use them in the walls.

Yes, I remember people using newspaper as insulation in the walls.😊

I love your solution! You also could've mixed some glue with spackle or joint compound and spread it on the wall, then squished the boards onto it so the "plaster" could squeeze between them. The cobwebs look great!

You are the aging master! Your things always turn out so authentic looking! The paper insulation looks great. ❤

Jolene those look like slats in old house trust me I have done a lot of remodels in very old house yes they stuffed the walls with newspaper.All I could do was laugh we would want to cover those slats here your are putting them in.Great looking attic so realistic.💕💕💕💕💕bless you for putting in all those details.

I like the tissue paper. It looks more like real insulation.

THIS WAS GREAT! The tissue paper was very effective! Everything looks Very realistic! Using the box to conceal the wire was genius!!! I need to watch video for the light bulb set up! This was AWESOME JOLENE!!!

I've seen houses with the kinda newspaper insulation poking out between the slats, I knew exactly what it was from the thumbnail, genius! Your lightbulbs are so realistic, I really have to watch that again despite the fact they don't have lightbulbs in medieval homes!

I think the attic space looks amazing. Great job on it. It reminds me of the old farmhouse that we lived in when I was a teenager. We lived there two different times when I was younger. I had a closet off my bedroom that had those slats on it. There were old newspapers on the wall behind the slats. It was neat trying to read some of the stories. Of course, you never got to read the whole story, because some of it was behind the slats.

You are so great at aging techniques. Oh I love the tissue paper look for the old insulation! WOW!!!! I know that took some serious time between that and the slats and it was worth it for those results! The concealing the wire in the box too was genius!

Looks like a real attic. Great job.

Looks fantastic! They use to use corncobs, newspaper and mud for insulation, so this looks awesome.

I am so AMAZED every time I see you transform a space. You are expert at capturing the essence of an old structure 😄 My real life home is about 115-20 years old. There was a hole in the wall in my son's room and we could see the structure. Looked just like your tissue paper wall (only it was cement). You've totally captured the look. In My neighbors house (about 10-15 years older than mine) they found old photos and newspapers in the wall during construction. The walls I built in my house I elected not to glue in so it would be easy to remove/repair if necessary. I used a little modeling clay to secure them. Love this brilliant attic. ❤️❤️❤️😘

That looks very convincing

Looking great! Thanks! Kathleen

The insulation looks perfect!❤

The tissue paper is genius! Came out great- brings back great memories. ❤

What an awesome idea! It’s so full of detail and looks authentic.

Love the ideas you have, the walls are brilliant, I also close my boxes the same way, I also close bag handles with one knot and one half bow, then you only need to pull shortest end and you untie it, rather than wrestling with 2 knots, path of least resistance, lol.

So brilliant. So many spectacular details add up to next level realism. I love it

Lath and plaster is the type of walls you are referring too. They were used up until the 1940's. Let's be honest this type of doing walls in some form or fashion have been used for hundreds of years. They just got better things to use. As @graceh8866 said newspaper was used too. Especially if the old plaster was broken out and you didn't have any. 😉 You did a really good job on it. It doesn't look Haunted. Just naturally bug control.👍🏼 I need to check out your videos of The Pet Cemetery when I get a chance. Thanks for the video.👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🌺

Worth the work! Absolutely Fantastic! :)

Always so immersive. Thank you ❤

Looks fabulous, love it.

You are so talented. I love every video. So inspiring. Thank you

This looks awesome! You are soo good at aging and realism!

It looks great!

I really enjoy watching your creative process, Jolene. You are so spot on with every detail. Great job!

Beautiful work

Whoa Jolene, this is fantastic!!!! The details you added are just so realistic looking. I love this so much! I want an attic like this for real lol

Love it! ❤
