There is a pocker under the drawers to add photo mats or rare oddities :-)

Added a door knoker from G45 with charms on the side. Fastened with a magnet.
Have used craft tex on the spine so I am sure it will last in use.

On the backside I made a shaker box with sequins inside. The curtains can be drawn together and the skeleton can move from side to side dragging the owl.

For the closure I used chain and it closes with a padlock.
