Making Custom Beds from Scratch for the Imagination Dollhouse


I am making the Imagination Dollhouse sold at Home Depot in seven days, decorating inside and outside plus some furniture for a Christmas gift. My mom is making the bed linens of course and I designed and built the beds. The theme came from wooden appliqués from Michaels and Hobby Lobby. So additional pictures will be posted later, so not to give too much away. I also used square wooden dowels, I left them off the supply list picture. I painted the beds with acrylic craft paints. By the  way, I am getting a craft room makeover for Christmas, so I am working in a temporary location.

  4. Hello Jocelyn, Just want to say that I think your whimsical beds are very creative and charming. The princess bed reminds me of something from Disney's Beauty and the Beast. What a great imagination you have!

  10. Hi,

    This is very beautiful...do you remember the sizes of woodsies and where did you buy those? I am planning to make one for my daughter and this one I liked it very much. Appreciate your help in providing more details.

    Thanks

  11. The beds are adorable! I'm looking for ideas of my own. I see your supply list picture but a better description of the item and where you located them would be really helpful. It is rather difficult to read the descriptions on the packaging etc.
