Other Roomboxes


The Olde Mountain Miniature's Castle Treasure Room Roombox:  The stone work around the door was made from wood "dipped" into spackle.  The walls and "stones" were then water-washed with gray paint.  The door is constructed from 5 planks of wood that were glued together.  The curve was drawn on (using the lip of a glass as a guide) and then the planks were cut to that shape.  I wigged the doll and made her gown.

These roomboxes were all created out of items that orginally had a different purpose.

The first, the mud-room and stone patio roombox, was made out of a breadbox.  When I first received the breadbox I thought I would make it into a bakery.  But a spare piece of wood and a great sale on Magic Bric products (which I wanted to experiment with) turned the bakery into this indoor/outdoor scene.  The spare piece of wood was used along with a dutch door to divide the box into two "rooms".  I used stucco and individual tiles for the interior room and brick with a stone floor for the exterior patio area.

The second roombox is a tissue box holder that I used to hold plastic bags to pick up after my dog while walking her.  It was an inexpensive solution since the only costs involved were the tissue box kit and the dog.  The landscaping items I had lying around the house from various other projects.

The third roombox was a wooden drawer organizer box.  It's sold at Bed, Bath and Beyond for a few dollars.  I wanted to recreate my brother's living room wall from his Colorado house.  The serape was cut from a cloth napkin and Sue Sharp glued it into shape for me.
