Shadow boxing

I just finished a dolls' house/shadow box.


Really, they're so easy. It's just a matter of sanding back the old paint, slapping on some new stuff and putting some wallpaper somewhere.


Remember it? This is what it used to look like. $10 it cost me. 

Not much different from how it looks today, you might think.


But my hands were tied with the whole 'pink' thing. Someone insisted it had to be 'pink'.


I'm hoping we'll put things in there and it'll look good as a shadow box.


 



I'd love an i-phone, as opposed to a wayne-phone.

    Polkadot Heidi,
    thank you. You're always so kind with your comments. You're an Alaskan treasure.

    that Molly! She's my favourite poodle-cross.

    you are in good form with your wallpaper floors MMMC. Makes even a pink item look good.

    Martha will probably use it more than the big one! It's like the granny flat. I see by the walls that you are still counting down. Will there be any more posts from your hacienda, I wonder?

    I see the pink putsch is a problem.
    The shadow box is perfect for small fingers.

    I like that wayne phone. Does it have apps? I'm all about useless apps that look like they can solve your life.

    I started with some sort of puppy phone - think it was Wayne's pet. Just go get one. They're fantastic.

    That Wayne phone is almost identical to mine. Really.
