decorating in progress
I've begun adding the miniatures I collected over quite a period of years.
I still plan to add shelves on the left wall above the prep shelf and sink.
Also have a copper hood for the stove.
Then it is curtains and entry door knobs.
Who knows what else?

warped room box presents a challenge
In order to use the kitchen-related miniatures I had collected in anticipation of a project that never marterialized, I purchased a big & cheap roombox.
However the larger pieces (top and bottom) were warped so I went through a prolonged process trying to flatten them out - - weights, misting the wood, more weights. Not very successful though.
So, I went ahead and put it together using glue and resorting to nails and heavy weights again.
Finally it is together flaws and all. Just hoping that once the minis are in the flaws won't be too noticeable.
