Room Corner

Well I decided to make a few room corners... I wanted to make something that could be added to, and I didn't want 'stuck down' minis in them mainly because I have a pet hate about that and I like to move things about and arrange them myself.  I really love and I don't know why but I just love the really grimy lived in look so I made a little shabby room corner, not sure there is much chic here so I'm leaving it at 'shabby' lol.  Here it is...




For this I didn't want to make lovely cakes that were all pretty, I wanted something simpler so I opted for just pastry and a few cutters.  I probably would have done a lot more in this kitchen but I didn't manage it because it sold.

I've made some more room corners, they are simple to make because one can get wood cut to size at the local DIY shop so I just worked out measurements, purchased the wood already cut to the exact size and I stuck it together, easy!  This helps to keep costs down because there is less time spent on cutting and shaping (I'm rubbish at woodwork) and I can then set about decorating instead.  The corners, when dressed will sell for about £10 and in this way I can make them affordable, which I like to do wherever possible. 
It's a nice change from my prams, which I love to make but they do take a considerable length of time and I have so much imagination and so many ideas that it’s just nice to do something a little different from time to time. I’m still working on orders of course but I always like to have several projects on the go because this saves me time when waiting for paint to dry or glue to set.  
 
Well I think my glue has set on the piece I’m working on so I’m off to glue something else to it.  

Every project is a learning curve!
 Have fun! xx
