My second LKWood piece. It pretty much perfectly captures the living place of Harry before entering the hallowed halls of Hogwarts.  From the English free wallpaper to the cramped, unfinished interior, this is a wonderful addition to anyone’s collection.

It’s a short build that only took me a day to do. I’ve left the framing somewhat unfinished for the moment but I think I’m going to paint it or stain it a dark wood color.  Anyway that’s tomorrow’s adventure.

The battery box is faulty on this instance. The switch is not connected right or something so will have to find an alternative power supply.

If anyone from LKWood is watching.  Please please rethink your electronics setup.  :). It’s a little jankey and while this one is hidden well the Olivanders wand shop is not.  I wish I had been more comfortable modding when I did that one as I would have rerouted the wiring now.

Mods:

* painted edges
* a semi white wash over the light colored wood.
* bannister supports I repainted the dark wood to provide some more depth and visual variety 
* painted the owl cage gold
* painted the feathers of the owl off white. Had to be careful there to preserve the dark lines and other pre painted portions.
* painted in buckles on the baggage and painted the handles gold
* painted the hardware on the working doors bronze
* painted the shelves inside the cupboard a dark wood to give it a more unfinished look
* added books, posters and a hogwarts letter to the cupboard 
* added a skull and a crystal ball to the shelves
* added gold foil to the ceiling of the cupboard to give it a more homey light compared to the hard lights from the sconces 

That’s all

I’ll save the other 2 till I know what this event is upcoming :)
