14/01/2012 A room box "Antique Shop" project by Margaret in Wales
Margaret says: "After taking early retirement, I was looking for something to keep me occupied over the winter and found a Tudor house kit with a shop on the ground floor. This was perfect as I love carved oak furniture but decided to move it forward to late Victorian to give the greatest possible scope, with a mix of carved oak furniture and more "modern" Victorian in the parlour. The house took around four months to build, and I enjoyed every minute (including gluing on 3000 roof tiles). I decided on an Antique shop as again, it gave me huge scope and I have tried to find unusual items (like Val's bird egg cabinet, Spartan Helmet and Microscope).
I am trying to see how many items I can cram inside without being over the top (currently around 150 but I lose count)."

12/11/2011 This is another really detailed Room Box "Museum" by Margaret in Wales.
A few words from Margaret:
"I wanted something different for a winter project and saw the birds egg cabinet on Val's website - inspiration struck and I thought of a Natural History Museum. The room box is loosely based on the Natural History Museum in Oxford as the Gothic style perfectly compliments the three front display cabinets (birds egg, fossils, and gemstones). The butterfly cabinet was the icing on the cake and really added to the look of the finished box."
