My first farmhouse bed.
Okay so it’s doll size but still super cute and I’m loving the look so much I really want to make the adult version.
I made all the bedding, you can read about the Trip Around the World quilt here.
As usual I got the plans from Ana White’s blog but I have to say this bed is rather wide – more like a queen size for dolls (Bitty twins anyone?).
And since I have two girls I had to make two beds, one queen, one twin.
The twin is simply 3″ narrower (equal to one less slat) than the queen and I will blog about it in the next post. (“B” is for Bed #2)
Here are the pieces with some beginning construction:
All assembled and sanded:
Primed, painted, sanded and polyed:
Dressed for bed – makes you want to climb right in!
And as far as I can tell American Girl doesn’t sell anything close to my wooden Farmhouse Bed.
I checked their website and Addy’s bed might be the closest I could find:

Or this trundle bed but even it’s made of plastic (for $68????):

And a quick preview of Bed #2:
They will definitely be going under the tree so SHH!
Now on to the adult version – might have to wait until after Christmas for that project.
