Project Information

A year ago, we finally got around to painting and re-furnishing our master bedroom. My wife wanted some cornice boxes, but all the ones we could find were too big. She wanted something simple, low profile and less expensive than what we could find. I told her I could try to make some and this is what came of it. I picked out the rope trim and she picked out the decorative piece in the middle. I lightly painted and scuffed the trim and middle piece to make it look a little aged. I made three of them all together. She liked them so I guess that's all that matters. I'm not sure why the wall paint looks like a light mint color, it's more of a sage.

Great job! Looks nice. It's a great feeling to make something instead of just buying it. I bet your wife is proud of you!

It does feel good to make something yourself. Yes, they were much cheaper. I made three for a little more than the cost of one "plastic" box from the store. Thanks for the comments LJ's!
