Last I backed a Kickstarter campaign for these Dreamy Mini Alley book nooks, and a couple weeks ago it finally showed up! I opted for the DIY kit rather than getting a pre-assembled one because I love putting these kinds of things together.

Well, I started working on it yesterday evening for a few hours and then worked on it some more today for the last seven or so hours. (This is why I didn’t get around to writing a response to today’s daily writing prompt about pets.)

All it needs to be fully complete are some AA batteries for the lights, and it will be perfect. I did make sure to test the electrical components (by using a 2-AAA battery holder I have for another project)  after they were assembled to make sure things lit up and the switch worked. So I know it should work just fine.

Anyway, without further ado, here are some pictures!

There’s a little mirror acting as the back wall to create the illusion of further depth and to see the other shop door correctly (it was designed to be mirrored.)

Some mistakes were made along the way, and it wouldn’t be a fun DIY kit if I hadn’t made any mistakes, but I corrected them along the way. I think it turned out great!
