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.
