2. Paint the top and bottom panels in French Grey Blue. Remove the handle and the interior "floating" piece.

3. Paint the back board in Plum.

4. Paint the inner walls and additional internal wooden pieces in Cranberry Wine. Paint the internal "floating" wooden piece's back panel and wooden dowel in Plum and the additional wooden pieces in Cranberry Wine.

5. Paint the left and right side panels and the topmost semi-curved piece in Williamsburg Blue.
