Roombox is finally finished!

After seven long months of work, I finally finished my first roombox. This room was entirely handmade and the only store bought items were the fire place ( ourtter frame/mantel) , the piece over the mantel and the ceiling trim. Everything else was carefully designed to have an unique look , making this room totally one of a kind! *grin*
I also should add that for the chandelier, I purchase a very plain piece and it was originally brass color.... I added the crystals after I leaf gold the entire piece.

The windows are missing my pictures that I will be printing soon. I found an artist in UK that does fantastic curtains and I order a set. I have lots to do here as far as adding furniture and my touch ups. I am looking forward to this stage.... it is my favorite!

I am looking for a nursery roombox, if any of you makes it ,please contact me. It will be a while before I start a long project such is this!*grin*

Patricia you have done a fantastic job on your roombox. The detailing on the walls and ceiling is fabulous, it is a very grand room and I will enjoy seeing how you furnish it. I agree, that would be the most fun part.

Hi Patricia,
Did you receive my package. Maybe it takes a little longer by ash cloud in Iceland.
Greetings Lisette

That is flat out exquisite! I love the attention to detail you bring to all your work like the soot marks over the fireplace. Nice touch!

I am curious does a room box have a glass front to protect it like certain diorama cases?

Woolytales Miniatures said...

Hi everyone!!!!
Thank (((( YOU))))for all your saying and praisings about my work!!! I am flatter!!!!*grin*

Lisette~ I am anxious to receive your parcel but I have not yet! You will be the first in hearing from you...that is for sure!!!!!*smiles*

Brian, if you look on my past post you will find 2 or 3 WIP and I show how I made the fire place. I wanted an angle inside therefore I made a mold and cast out of fiberglass. I wanted the room to have the *real* feeling of a real room.the soot wasone of them.
Yes I have a frame that has a glass protecting the room, next time I get pictures and post on this I will include the front too.*grin*

I am so very late because of my birthday celebration, but Tita, again, you have rendered me speechless! AND THAT IS USUALLY NOT THE CASE! What beauty, ingenuity and genius you have applied in this wonderful room. Isn't creativity the most essential element in happiness? God gave it to us to dream, continue and have faith in a bigger and brighter future, and the practice of creating, I believe, brings us closer to Him! A JOB WELL DONE MY SWEET!!!!!!

BISOUS, Nita

OH TITA!!! I am soooooo happy to see all of these visitors for you! You have always deserved the attention and look at this marvelous room box. I was thinking of you all day, but Ruben had wanted to take me out and we had much fun. I just wanted to come home however, to draw or make something! I was a rainy day here and it was perfect to cozy up and get creative. I had wanted to email you today but he kept say, "Let's go!" Listen, would I have your permission to post on my mini blog your achievement with the magazine? Let me know, I would sure love to brag about you. OH, and may I put your achievement on my sidebar on Castles?

MUCH LOVE TO YOU, my wonderful artiste!!! Nita

I am delighted to see your room box! I have been dreaming of doing something like this for quite a while now. Your room is so fab. I love how you vamped up your chandelier and the smoke above the chimney opening. I will be watching to see what you do with the room. How exciting!
