I added this one to the ceiling, I needed something the black cat was looking at. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/687233e07a5bb803d661e40b/45c860d8-5a03-4ce6-a67b-9d5ac8494624/Wallpaper.jpg Projects - Book Nook This is the only wallpaper I made myself. I drew the flowers in white gel pens and let it dry. After that I made my own color that matched my curtains and painted over the white flowers. This is the result :). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/687233e07a5bb803d661e40b/07bea6b7-e51a-47dd-9ef1-fbed27acfdd1/Window+frame.jpg Projects - Book Nook Another print I drew in Tinkercad and printed in PLA. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/687233e07a5bb803d661e40b/7f7c2143-ca26-4838-adb8-a5b80b92c72d/Window+frame+finished.jpg Projects - Book Nook I spray painted the window frame, added a picture and chalk paper to diffuse the picture. The darker blue is from the glue I used, I fixed this by adding clouds in white acrylic pens. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/687233e07a5bb803d661e40b/192c40e4-14e7-45f7-aae5-0bb4caeafa15/Front+Book+Nook+W+glass.JPG https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/687233e07a5bb803d661e40b/a8a0bae5-7d2d-4a0b-a2cd-38f8806bae1c/Front+Book+Nook+WO+glass.JPG https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/687233e07a5bb803d661e40b/6fd8a777-0832-4a0a-b9f4-12d0ad9ae903/Book+Nook+with+lights.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/687233e07a5bb803d661e40b/33d7678e-ad20-468b-869f-f14a7bc3d7e6/Side+Book+Nook.JPG Projects - Book Nook - Side of the Book Nook I added a few details around the front and the battery case. I also added my logo. You can see where my wires are under the carton. But no one sees it once it is placed in a book case :).
