The roombox for T2T, If you're taking the challenge along with us

This box was a give-away at a M.E.E. club meeting a couple years go. It's 8" x 8" and 8 1/4" deep.

First coat of paint on the walls and ceiling.

Second coat of paint and tape removed.

Originally, I was going to use the wrapping paper for wainscoting as I thought I had some lovely mint green paper. But, I couldn't find that so for one of my 8 1/2 x 11 sheets of paper, I chose this dark green paper. Then cut 3/8" strips of card stock for baseboards and 1/4" for a chair rail.

I cut three 3" strips of the paper for the wainscoting.

Checked it for size.

And glued it in place.

Then glued the baseboards in place.

What was I thinking? Putting a white chair rail against a white wall. Not one of my brighter moments. If my hands are steady enough, I'll try and stain it later.

And a rug from my 6" square of felt.

My friend and fellow miniaturist, Marilyn D. from New Brunswick (don't know why I said Nova Scotia originally) also has a blog and kindly mentioned the Trash to Treasure challenge in it today. Marilyn does lovely work and I think you would enjoy her blog.

 If you're trying out the Trash to Treasure challenge along with us, I'd love to see your creations. So please email me a picture of what you ended up making along with a list of what you used and how.

M.E.E. is having a special section for the challenge at our miniature show this September. We would love to have your work included in that.
