My Granddad made me a beautiful wooden doll bed when I was 7 yrs. old. I will be 70 in March. My Granddaughter is now 9 and loved playing with it at my house. She had gotten an American Doll for her birthday in Sept and wanted a bed for her so I offered her to take this one home at Christmas. She was thrilled to take it but wanted to paint it and add stencils to it. I told her it was hers,fix it anyway she wanted and it looked so cute when she finished.
