PALE PINK ROOMBOX

I made an open roombox of those parts I got from the joinery. I will be adding more photos to this page as I work on it. So far, I'm calling it a pale pink roombox as I've used wallpaper with different shades of pale pink (not usually a colour I would choose, but I happened to buy a roll of such wallpaper, so...)

Wallpaper and floorboards (balsa wood) added..

As you can see in the pictures, the original joinery leftovers do not match each other exactly, and I don't have the tools to trim them to perfection, but once I'm done with this roombox, you shouldn't be able to notice!

Looking odd now, but wait 'til you see the rest..

And the other side..

Hmmm, should I make a toy shop...

Making a shop counter (so, it'll be a shop..)

Still unfinished, but I've added a "glass" on the counter front. It's really clear plastic from a ham package!

I painted the shelf with nail polish, which I think goes really well with the wallpaper. (Ignore the plants, they're just temporarily in the roombox..)

Hmmm, that purple comes out really COLD in the pictures! It's not that obvious normally.

Close-up, to show the colour..

I painted two nailpolish coats to tone down the darker purple, which looked so wild in the photos. This one doesn't look itself in the picture, either, but at least it doesn't steal the whole picture.

With the counter (now almost finished)

Close-up of the counter. There's a clear plastic "glass" in the front, but you can't see in the picture - I'll try to take a picture with a reflection someday soon.

Just to display something in there, until finished..
