Technically, the light screen was an idea I got from someone else’s treatment of the tokonoma area and I pulled that off in an evening while my sister was visiting here in May. Just that between visiting Berlin, then deciding to attack the pavement project, I never got around to installing the screen and taking some pictures of it. But here it is. It was just a matter of cutting out some small wooden frames, painting them and glueing them onto some printed parchment paper. The buddha statue I got some time ago as well but this is the room I had planned to put it in. I will probably create some orchids or ikebana behind the statue. That’ll be done once the room is actually installed onto the house.

I saw a
bucket tutorial on pinterest and decided also here to make my own. I figured I need a water bucket outside the kitchen area (when I build that area up it will be full of various stuff for outside work) so I grabbed some toothpicks and glue and went nuts. I dipped some crochet thread in some brown paint and washed it off a bit to make the twine to wrap around the bucket. And I used one of the kit’s small buckets from the onsen spa to make the ladle to drink from and the lid I threw together with some small pieces of balsa. Little varnish and done.
