Here's the outside of the box! I've decided not to attach the scrim I bought for the front yet. I want the cherry wood to age a little first. I really love the look of aged cherry and I am patient enough to wait for it!
Here is the inside!
Here's another view of the inside so you can see underneath the mattress pin pillow. I love these pink scissors and just knew they were the perfect ones for my box! They are from DMC's special Breast Cancer edition set that came out last year. I also splurged and bought all the special scrims that were available. What tiny works of art!
Here are the smalls that go inside my box! I just love the pin keep. It's my very favorite piece from this set. I will say that putting together the mattress pin cushion was first for me. I can see myself making more of these!
