Paraiso Balcony

Once the Heavenly Hair window was finished I thought it could use an extension. So looking through my recycling bin I found some narrow pieces of wood, some plaster and some nicely turned wooden pegs from an old corner shelf. Unexpectedly while grocery shopping I came by an old (beauty chest maybe??) mirror that was calling my name.
I painted the top of the Heavenly hair box in acrylic white paint.

I painted the wooden pegs as well.

I framed the top of the box with remnants of wood.

The walls of the balcony are 72 cm X 12 cm
As the pegs were a bit too wide for the width of the wood walls, I added a little narrow wooden strip, and I glued it on the edge.

I evenly glued the pegs on top of it and covered them with a piece of molding to form a kind of balcony.

I covered the wall facade in plaster, then I painted everything white.
The old mirror was screwed directly to the wall.

The door ( virtual access to the stairs) was made of fiberboard, painted white.

I have used pieces of an old lamp and a tiny wood stick painted brass for the door handle.

The window is made of a carton frame over a piece of aluminum.

At the inside base of the balcony I glued a false ceramics paper from a model construction magazine.
