I found a sleighbed on Craigslist for $25. I was amazed. The thing is solid wood, wonderfully kept and a very expensive chunk of furniture. Wow. Cool!!!!!!!! Got it home and it was under an inch too large to fit the way I wanted it to. *sigh* We got it in, though.
I'd taken back from Fanya a lamp that Mom gave her, but it lived in her closet. She never used it. It's got a painted roses and beaded glass shade. I'd hung her little bats - they'd been over her crib when she was a baby. Her purple moon mobile got some space. I've taken out all the toys and put them into the middle room, but I left her full as it can be bookshelf.
I used an old yellow butterfly sheet that was left at the house by one of the ex-roomie's mostly homeless buddies to make curtains. I also raided an old Pops topsheet. He rarely uses the topsheets. They'd end up on the floor for Molly to sleep on.
I got out my creative hat and went to Walmart and spent about $15 on iron on stuff, fabric paint and red fabric. I'd cut off some shorts for Fanya and used the leftover stripey fabric in my build.
This is what happened....
