Jewellery Box/Bedroom/COVID19

As much as I love the black/gold combination that Tina used for the original kit, as you'll see farther down, green/gold works much better in this room.

I know better but my first choice of green marker was the cap that matched the room. Big mistake. Should have tried it on a scrap first.

This is the green I want. (Big difference between the cap colour and the actual.

The box pieces ready to stain and put together after cutting off the leg extensions in the kit.

Put together.

The filigree added to the box and lid.

 Missed a picture here where I coloured the edge of the lid and the top inside of the box itself with the Krylon gold.

Couldn't find the wooden pieces I had thought I would use for the feet of the box but these yellow beads are a much better size anyway. Put four of them on the ends of round toothpicks and painted them gold.

Then glued them to the bottom of the box.

This is the bedroom where the jewellery box will go. The pieces on the floor at the front are various options for the dressing table.

Went with some bottles by Judy Mitchell, the jewellery box and a mirror. I have a Chrysbon dresser set that I think will go on the table also. The jewellery box isn't hinged yet so have to do that and add jewellery to it.  But it's coming together.

And this is what it looks like so far...

This is the middle room of a three-room roombox which has a bathroom, bedroom and a sitting room.

The bedroom is pretty much finished, the bathroom needs a couple things and the sitting room is almost done. The biggest things that have to be done are the lights in each room and covering the outside of the box. Those require that I have to empty it to get those things done.

It's going on the back-burner (yet again) for now as I have to finish Vern's attic and one other project for Mission Hill Village.

This afternoon at 2:30, family and friends of residents in the extended care building next door (there are two buildings next door - the one my Mom lived in and an extended care building which has been in lockdown for 4-5 weeks) lead a 40-50 car cavalcade through the parking lot with posters, balloons and waves to let people know they were thinking of them. It was lovely and quite touching.
