Sweet Dreams....Creating an Original Doll Bed

I thought it might be fun to show you how I put together a doll bed for my little girl's room. Her room is the most fun room to decorate.

This is a picture of the finished look and I will take you thought the materials 

I put together....

 I started with this bed I bought at a 

thrift store and painted it hot pink...

 I used a standard sized pillow with a cute pillow case for the doll's mattress...

 Then I added a vintage mini throw pillow as the doll's sleeping pillow....found at Jackson Square Antique Mall in LaGrange.

 The bedspread is a dish towel 

from Anthropologie...

 Then I added these mini pillows 

(approx 5"x5")

found at Cracker Barrel and 

a thrift store.

 Then we tucked in the little baby doll 

into her little bed.  

This is an example of my favorite thing to do when decorating...using things in an unpredictable way to create something unique.

Sweet Dreams!

Before and After Master Bedroom...mini tour

Here is a photo taken off of the sales brochure when I purchased my home 4 years ago.  

 Here are some after photos...

It's a small room, so I wanted to draw your eye up.   I did this by using a high wrought iron headboard.  At the foot of the bed, I added a vintage chenille coverlet and a long pillow from my favorite store... Anthropologie.

I painted the walls lenox tan by 

Benjamin Moore and added some checked drapes found at a thrift store for $3 a panel. 

(I left the tags on so my friends 

would believe me!)

 I added this desk that was picked up at the curb and painted it cream.   I needed a vanity and it doubles as my night stand.  I added 2 contemporary vases with dried sprigs to add texture.  

 I hung a vintage mirror with prints torn out of an old book and placed in the frameless glass clip frames.  I wanted to do something that looked more random.

 I recovered this stool in this fun floral fabric...loved it next to the checked drapes.

Below is a closeup of a painting...another $3.50 thrift store find.   It is a little bit ugly, but once in the right setting...it looked artsy and fresh.

This is the other side of the room... opposite of the bed... where I added a vintage mirror on a new dresser.  

The twigs and grasscloth runner 

add more texture.

 My goal was to keep things cozy and inviting...

what do you think?
