VERY SMALL ROOMBOX

For some time, I've been thinking about bright red and gold together.. So, when I found an old gift package that was on its way to the bin, I quickly saved it and started making a little shop roombox of it, painting the interior bright red and adding golden details! And as soon as I had finished painting the interior, I happened to see "Home Front" on the telly, and they visited some buddhist temple in UK, where nearly everything was red and gold! It looked even better than my mental images (lol), so I think once I'm done with this roombox, I'm going to make something bigger with those colours as well..
