ARCHITECTURAL BOX

I wasn't sure what I wanted to do with this box, until I started digging through my architectural fragments.





This is how it started.  Just a plain wood box, with a hole where a knob once existed.




I attached an ornate architectural fragment,





and, a vintage drawer pull.

 I used some of my Gwen Frostic decorative paper in the interior.







I'm actually not sure if I'm done with the paint treatment.  However, I've very happy with the transformation so far.
