HALLOWEEN - WITCH'S SECRET ROOM - Things that were done

Hello Everyone!

Hope all is well.

Thought I would show you what 

has been done on the 

witch's secret room.

All of the outside has been painted

black. 

Still have the lid to be painted

black but will do that later.

The inside was painted green

to just make it look more colorful.

I had to search for book shelves and that

took a lot of time.

I didn't want to spend any money on it

because the room is supposed to be from

stuff she had found that hopefully

holds some meaning to them.

I remembered after a search of looking

around the net that I had a garden

bookcase given to me by one of the

ladies of the mini group.

It was so cute so I placed it inside

of the box.

It was so cute and was made of

cardboard that had a pretty paper

glued to it. 

It was not very sturdy, but thought that

this would  work and could be great for the room.

It works! Looks like it was made for the

space. 

Had to paint it to get rid of the roses

look to it.

Before painting, I decided to make a

shelf look like it was getting ready to

break. 

I just took a random shelf.

I painted over this as you can see in the

pic a purple color.

I kind of liked the pinkish look to the

shelves but decided I would paint over

with purple to hid some of the roses

but that didn't even cover them liked I had

hoped for.

The purple color sure is an eye catcher,

but way to colorful for this room.

So, back to painting the shelves another color

on top to cover before deciding the

color I want it to be.

The purple has to be toned down a lot

before going into the room.

I made the desk area in the back along with

the shelves from thick brown cardboard. 

Then ran a little bit of black across them 

to give them a little bit of age. 

I like the way it looks and might think

about making some more stuff out of

cardboard. 

Hope you got some ideas here and 

enjoyed seeing what I had done. 

Thanks for stopping by and visiting me.
