This shadow box represents in miniature the items that I remember in my grandmother's home.
I should note that I took the photo at an angle so that you wouldn't see my reflection in the mirror which I made with a bottle cap frame.
Because I want to enter this in the Prima September contest HERE, (I'm #19) I'm giving you a sneak peak of my project which will be the focus of my article on October 3 at Unruly Paper Arts blogozine. The article will include a brief family history of each item. At that time, I will have a companion post here on my blog with photos of the actual items that now reside in my home.
Prima resins furnished the house. Because my grandma's furniture was white, I didn't alter the color but I did stain the wood trim.
I'm also entering this room photo in the Coffee Lovers Fall Blog Hop HERE. I'm #372
Please come back in October to learn more!!!!
Here are the Prima products I used:
Altered Doll House
Ingvild Bolme Foyer Resins and Antique Tub
Update 10/20/15. I didn't win the Prima contest, but my house was a featured entry in the Prima winners article HERE

What a beautiful sneak peek of your shadow box, Helene, love that tiny cup! Happy hopping!
Simply wonderful - the nostalgic details, recollecting the objects and furniture from your grandma's house, are wonderful. Love how you've stained the wooden chair legs, and I can't wait to get a closer look when you reveal it at UPA.

Beautiful creation of a shadow box...reminds me of my grandmother's home, in fact the one picture of the chair and end table is almost a duplicate of her chair she loved to read the paper in. Love it.
