I've got a new project ...

You all know how much my daughter loves girly things, especially princesses and ballerinas. Well, Freya has moved out of her cot and is a "Big" girl now (her words) she "needs" (her words) a "princess bed"...
We had a look on the net and found several but she fell in love with this one from Matrix - note the price! Ok, so I'm NOT spending $1200 on a theme bed that she might like for a year or two! Plan B... make one my self!

Found this similar design bed frame at IKEA, no slide but that's a bonus since she wouldn't do much sleeping if there were = $350!!!

A tin of white paint, a roller and a few hours later...voila!
She LOVES it!!! I've spent most of today laying down underneith together with all her toys, being tucked in by my daughter over and over again whilst she's been "sleeping" on top!Last night when we first showed it to her and she climbed in for the first time, her exact words were "Mamma, Daddy - I LOVE IT!!! Thank you so much!!! I love you!" - How sweet is that!

I was worried about the hight and her climbing in and out, but the little monkey she is, that's not a problem at all!

Now I can start measuring and get sewing on the "house" underneith. I've got all the materials and even some new fabric to make new curtains for the room as well.

The light pink linnen = curtain fabric

Purpely pink = is for the "house"

Yellow, green, small and large flowers for "house" curtains, pillows and other bits...

I think I better get started!

I'll show you the result when it is all done!

Have a great day!
