Heat gun- I use mine to quickly dry paint, soften the glue to dismantle furniture and quickly cure polymer clay without an oven. Gets a lot hotter than a hair dryer.

In this video, I'm decorating a cardboard room box with a tin ceiling, cereal box wall paneling and random width wood floors.
I'll ultimately be turning this room box into a vintage kitchen. It's only 3 inches deep but it looks deeper due to a forced perspective illusion. There's enough room for a fireplace, antique looking stove, a chair and lots of accessories.

I have lots of projects planned ranging from abandoned miniatures, furniture makeovers, dioramas, accessories, kits and Dollhouse Miniatures in multiple scales. I also have a large Harry Potter build planned for 1" scale.

*8:50** exactly the kind of miniaturist I wanna be!* I've tried watching other videos, but keep coming back to yours because I love this style and the way you clearly and simply explain everything! Thank you for sharing so much! ♥ Jenny

[@queencityminis]

Awesome, thank you! I really appreciate that. I try to make my videos straightforward, relaxing and entertaining.

[@user-vl8iw9vm9h]

Food was not put up in cans until the 20th century. If this is 19th century, the kitchen would show food canned in glass jars. You are very talented and clever.

[@queencityminis]

Oh damn! Good call. Thank you 😊

[@maxpolaris99]

Sneak up on your work! Leave room for errors. A lesson I've taken to heart.

[@queencityminis]

So true!

[@recoveringsoul755]

i thought you would need to make panel strips narrower as they got towards the back wall for the illusion of being further away, but making boards varying widths, you didn't need that. Brilliant!

[@queencityminis]

Thank you! I really love how the paneling came out

[@kevinb9327]

I was going to notify you about Dirty Down. I should have known you already knew. 😮 Their Moss product might be of use.

[@queencityminis]

It's so good! I saw Black Magic Craft use it and bought a bottle.

[@kjaecques]

Love it!

[@queencityminis]

Thanks!!

[@WhitneyLaBrie]

I know I mentioned it before but I really like the way the ceiling turned out, and leaving it like that I think was perfect!

[@queencityminis]

Thank you! I'm sure you've been there where you take a project one step too far and it doesn't look as good. It's important to quit while you're ahead 😉

[@littlegretchensworkshop7665]

VERY CREATIVE AND RESOURCEFUL! I lOVE THE MULTIPLE SIZES FOR THE FLOOR PLANKS! i HAVE NEVER DONE A ROOM BOX, IT'S LIKE CREATING A STAGE! GREAT JOB!

[@queencityminis]

I like that! It is like creating a stage 😊

[@maddieadams75]

Love it ❤

[@queencityminis]

Thank you so much 😊

[@stephaniecritser7360]

You're an amazing teacher. Thank you for the detailed explanation. It is super helpful for newbies like me! :)

[@abicat6158]

Love it. So good to get a real explanation of how to copy your techniques

[@queencityminis]

Thank you :)

[@ghoulgoil5029]

It looks great already. I love the details you do to make your projects look realistic. Can’t wait to see the finished room.

[@queencityminis]

Thank you :) I've built a fireplace and egg carton stone hearth and added a bunch of accessories. It's really coming along.

[@debbralehrman5957]

So many great ideas.👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🎁🕯🌟🕯🎁

[@queencityminis]

Glad you like them! I didn't know where this project was headed when I started but it turned out so great!

[@tino4576]

Can't wait for the rest! Love it already and know it will be awesome!!

[@queencityminis]

Thank you! It looks so great. It's nearly done. I just need to edit some more videos.

[@lovingbeautifullife9646]

you're the best !!!!! This is very helpful and your voice perfect! Thank you :)

[@queencityminis]

Wow, thank you! I appreciate the feedback too 😊

[@GinasMiniatureStudio]

I was inspired to do a room box after your last video so decided to do a kitchen, oh snap! I love the materials you have managed to source, the ceiling and flooring look amazing! Can’t wait for the next video.

[@queencityminis]

That's great! I really enjoyed making the cardboard shadow box. My kitchen is almost done. I'll be doing many more in the future. Not sure what theme but possibly a library. Definitely a Halloween one. The fun never stops.

[@heathermartinez8640]

Looking forward to seeing the final project. Watching this video helped me figure out what to do with one of my miniature cottage floors.

[@queencityminis]

That's great! What did you decide to do? The cereal box boards could definitely be used on a floor but I also really love the random width flooring.

[@heathermartinez8640]

@@queencityminis I decided to use the random width flooring. I was gifted some unfinished wood pieces I can use for floor boards.

[@queencityminis]

That's a great choice! I really love how mine turned out. I'd love to do the same on a larger project.

[@tinykeyholeminis]

Man ..I didn't see any of that stuff when I went in there...you're always finding the deals girl!🤗 Lol I love what you're doing with this...can't wait to see it finished!🥰

[@queencityminis]

They're always getting "new" old stuff from buying collections. That's why I have to go so often 😉

[@tinykeyholeminis]

@@queencityminis I wish I could..I will live vicariously through your vids 😆

[@fancifuldevices]

This is so cool!!!!

[@queencityminis]

Thank you! I'm really impressed with how far it's come from the time it was a cardboard box to now 😆
