It's almost 2 years since I bought a roombox, hoping to do a Japanese scene on it. I decided it was a perfect moment to start, taking advantage of my Easter holidays. So yesterday I started the work, and this is what I accomplished on day 1.
Firstly, I took out all the components, and did a dry fit to ensure correct placement of the parts:
 |
I was pleasantly surprised to see it had fitted corners, like puzzles pieces
|
 |
They all fit perfectly!
|
Since I know better now, instead of gluing together the walls and floor, I decided to wallpaper and put the floor before any other work. So I spread out all the walls as to not make mistakes, and started by printing a beautiful tatami floor, work of the talented Ana Circea:
 |
Starting with the center piece: the floor
|
 |
Pieces fit together like a puzzle
|
 |
Just the little upper corner missing...
|
 |
Done! Then trimmed to size
|
 |
Looking good!!
|
First piece done, 3 to go! Next one, the left wall. For this, I covered the entire wall with white cardboard, and then placed a sliding door in the center - also from Ana's shop:
 |
Simple white cardboard - it is a bit texturized, but you cannot see that in the picture
|
 |
Sliding door, and some molding to decorate
|
 |
| Perfect! |
 |
Trying both parts together for effect. Love it!
|
I still needed to add some beams for decoration, but the natural light was getting low, so I stopped the work right here.
More pics tomorrow of the progress!
