Well my neice Zoey (the one in my picture who is not my daughter ) had her 4th birthday party this weekend, and since I'm still off work I had some time to put this together for her as a present. It is a Barbie-sized bed and dresser. She's getting to that age where she is becoming interested in barbies. My mom also repainted an old dollhouse my sister (Zoey's mom) had as a child and gave it to Zoey as a present.
I made it from scrap that I had left over from building the crib so it is all poplar. I used the same paint/finish I had left over from the crib also, which is General Finish's white Polyacrylic. And again like the crib, didn't have any plans I just kinda made it up as I went along. Angie helped me paint again and make the matress/pillow so that was an awesome help and she enjoyed it. Zoey was thrilled to get her Barbie presents and maybe I'll make her a longer dresser with a mirror next or something? Anyways, thanks for lookin!
A pic of the sides of the dresser, all mini-dadoed...
I didn't get any time to take pics of the bed completed so I asked my sister to do it tonight and email me the pics. She did so, and I think she draped a black sheet behind them so sorry if they look a little odd, or kind of fake and cropped for that matter lol...
