Vingnette: Hiding in Plain Sight

My home is small by McMansion standards, but it's splendid by real world standards.  I try to use the space wisely.  One of the decorating games I enjoy is called "Hiding in Plain Sight."  It's pleasing to combine aesthetics with function in a design trumpe d'oeil.







-----This is a cabinet in our entertainment system.  See the box on the bottom shelf?  I've had it for many years.  It's beautiful and works well with the other items.  I use this box often.














-----Can you guess what this is?















It's my hand sewing box.  It pleasures me to walk by the cabinet and know that this beautiful box has such a pragmatic purpose.
