A shabby little bed!

I really, really wanted an iron bed for this room but it was just way too much money. So instead I made this bed. I got the inspiration for it from the one Sylvia made for her beach house. I managed to find everything I needed to make it at home...didn't have to spend anything! Here it is in the shabby house, I may re-paint it white but at the moment I'm enjoying the pink!
We'll be making the windows and doors for the house next month at the club.

Thanks for all the tips on enlarging the pics. I've tried several things (including reading my camera manual April!). Hopefully they can be clicked on this time. I've even looked back through my blog and some pictures do click and others don't, it's very strange.

  5. hey....when you upload a picture next time, change your layout to none, not left, right or center. Casey told me to do this awhile ago, and I don't know why, but once I changed it....I haven't had a problem since...Hope it works for you:)
