Not all miniature projects need to be elaborate and expensive.
This is an example of a fun project that really didn't have a high cost to it.
Mediterranean Kitchen
Roombox
by Lori
Koutsouftikis
When I received jars of olives in a
wooden box with a plexi-glass top, it sparked my imagination for a
Mediterranean kitchen roombox.
I first decorated in blue and white, leaving the walls in the
original wood color. It was a simple look that fit my
pocketbook at the time, but I always felt that it was missing some
realistic warmth.
After a few years I redecorated in purple, teal, and
white. Using sand grit in white paint created the
textured appearance of the walls. I cut a space in the
back of the olive box to insert a window. Then I tiled
the floor with individual tile and swapped the plain white table
for an Old World Tile table I had made in a workshop. I
also added some more food (peppers on the table, a basket of grapes
by the sink) in an attempt to make the scene look lived-in. |
