Page 1 of 6  On December 23, my Aunt and Uncle celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary. In honor of this occasion, I made a surprise miniature room/musicbox. As with other miniature projects, I recorded my progress and others can see how I made various parts of the room.
 The beginning of this room centers around a reception room. The box will have a wooden back wall and floor. The front, sides and top will be glass that is framed in with angle molding. I used birch plywood 11 13/16" X 8 1/2" X 1/4". The floor will be 11 13/16" X ____ X 1/4". The wall paper is an off white with a shiny iridescent look (almost golden). I choose a moss green carpet. these colors do not reflect the room that the reception will be held in. But then, it's the thought that counts.
The Banquet Table
 I used the measurements of a real banquet table to arrive at the size of the miniature version. I cut the top, legs and the framing for  the underside of the table from bass wood. As the table has a covering, I didn't stain or paint it. I bought white satin like material, an off-white tulle with gold flecks, white ruffling, and 1/8" gold ribbon to make the table covering. The table will be used to hide the music box.
