A bed for the country house

Things have changed a little since you last saw the country house...
this room was the girly pink bedroom!
Now it's slowly becoming the boys bedroom.
I made this little iron bed months ago but it's been lingering around waiting for the perfect bed linens.
Sylvia sent me the tiny castors, they actually work!
If you give the bed a push it just whizzes across the floor!
I found these napkins at the op shop.
They have the perfect edgings for miniature bed linens!
I got some inspiration from Liberty's (real life) antique bed.
I LOVE how the iron work looks so spindly and the brass knobs are so big.
Plenty of work still to be done in this room!

    The bed is so cool! And good op shopping, those vintage napkins are great. I can see you're going to have fun with the makeover, and we're going to have fun watching it :)
