I just thought I would share some pictures of my little one's new bed. Daddy built a platform style for her out of red oak. The three drawers will hold her clothes :-) It makes her bed much closer to the floor (she had a loft bed) and now we can read books easier at night. she loves it and so do I. When I decided I was finally going to get the painting done daddy decided he would make her a nice new bed. Her new wall colors are purple and orange-you can see a hint of them in the second picture lol

Very nice. I know she loves it!

What a great bed. It uses all that under the bed wasted space so well.

Very nice. I love your bright quilt on her bed

I like platform beds and being low to the ground, too. And that quilt is beautiful!

Very nice! Hey, show us more of that quilt on her bed, that looks pretty!

Beautiful bed and quilt.

Very pretty bed and quilt, Daddy sure did a great job on the bed. What a lucky little Girl!!!

What a beautiful new bed & also the quilt on the bed!! :D Her Daddy did a great job & I can just picture her sleeping in her new bed tonight!! :D What a Sweet Angel!! Thank you for sharing with all of us!!
:D :D :D :D

Thank you everyone :-) She fell asleep on her new bed she was so excited. I had to go in and tuck her in. Here she is on her new bed the first night.
And thank you on the quilt. It was her Christmas present from me for 2008. I will attach a picture of that as well. I had I think 2 F4s of the butterflies on black that I just loved and could find no more of so I decided to match the butterflies with other colors and voila her quilt was born :-)
Thank you all again for such wonderful compliments. It is nice to have a daddy who is handy lol

PS I am also posting a couple of pictures of her being goofy with her fake mustache she got out of one of those vending machines lol

What a great bed. I had my drawers under my bed growing up too. I think making it will be SO MUCH EASIER now. I dreaded climbing up to make the boys bunk beds so much I couldnt wait to get rid of that thing. I love her quilt oh so cute and colorful just like she is I imagine.

LOL you hit the nail on the head I hated making her bed..it was too hard, my head would hit the ceiling, my knuckles would be scraped I sad this is crazy! So now it is a piece of cake and that I LOVE lol
Yes she is quite colorful-definitely the light of my life thank you :-)

Beautiful!

Wow, nice bed!

Sewn,
I took the friendship star pattern and did half square triangles for the background half of the star point and made one the background and the other another shade of the star point. I am sure there is a pattern somewhere (probably quilter'scache) but I can not for the life of me find it or remember the name.

Thank you all again for the kind words :-)
Here are pictures of the completed room minus the quilts on the walls as I have to have the wood hangers made for the quilts.

Thanks April!

Awww a sweet bedroom for a sweet little girl! Nice to have a husband that can do work working! Love the colors and the quilt!

Great bed!! your dh is quite handy - he should take orders for the beds and make them to sell - These are great for people with small spaces - dresser and bed all together!!!

Wow, aren't D's nice. He did a wonderful job. Love the ideal of drawers under the bed. :thumbup: :thumbup: I also love the quilt :XD: :thumbup:
