I finished the Cypress and Fog roombox in a 2010 class with The Guys from Texas. The box came assembled with all of its elements provided and partially finished by The Guys, so I can’t take a lot of credit for this gorgeous roombox. The focus of the class is on finishing techniques. This roombox complements the Oak Shadow Roombox, from a class I took with them in 2006. Read more about the Cypress and Fog on my blog.

Here's the finished roombox. There are several lighting sources: a bulb behind the shoji screens, LEDs in the ceiling, and a red bulb in the fireplace.

The furniture is a mix of Bespaq and Mission style pieces I built from kits. The tables on either side of the couch and chair by the fireplace are discontinued kits from Miniton Miniatures and the sideboard is a Daisy House kit. (Click for more details.)

The Tiffany lamp is electrified, but there's no plug for it back there. The table next to the sofa is a discontinued Miniton Miniatures kit. I stitched the pillow from a Janet Granger kit.

There's a cliff / ocean scene outside, and the window has special glass that creates a fog effect.

I cross-stitched this rug from a design in Pamela Warner's Miniature Embroidery for the 20th Century Dolls' House. The floor is hand laid cherry with a beautifully smooth finish, click here for details.

Another fireplace shot. The cattails, made from seed beads, were an estate sale find.

The hall chair is a Bespaq piece that I got on eBay. I cross stitched the panel of the woman from a design in Pamela Warner's Miniature Embroidery for the 20th Century Dolls' House.
