Making Tiny Beds is FUN!
I started fixing the three beds that came with the doll house...
This was the broken canopy bed for the Little Girl's Room. It was super dusty, a thin piece of fabric covered cardboard for a mattress-not comfortable at all.
This is the antique, brass bed...the blanket that came with it matches the wall paper in the house. It was way too small too. (No mattress either! So sad!)
This is the Little Boy's bed...pretty boring...but it was in excellent shape. I actually liked the red and white checked fabric on the mattress, but it was dirty.
This is my new Fox Family I got this morning. More on them to come, they need names! There were several different species of families. Pigs, Elephants, Squirrels, Dogs, Cats...I chose the Fox Family-I love their little faces and clothes.
Here's the Master Bed! I started by spray painting the whole bed frame in an ivory color-matte finish. The sheets are real vintage pillowcase fabric I bought on Etsy...
I also I made a chenille comforter and some pillow shams and filled the shams with cosmetic foam, you know that really dense, soft foam? I got some in a perfect pillow size at the dollar store...
I hand stitched the whole thing because I like the look of hand stitching, crooked...over sized...OH, and I don't sew. I don't have a machine and I would not know how to use it if I did. Mmmm...the thing about tiny beds is tey always look so welcoming. I could slip right in...
Here is the new canopy bed...Vintage fabric on the new, foam mattress (I actually took these really thin sponges from the dollar store and cut them to size)...dust ruffle...I love the way it turned out...
Here's another picture...
And here's that boring Boy's bed all fresh and new...
I love the thick mattress....and I love the small green check
I never thought making tiny things would be this fulfilling and entertaining.
*joy*
