This isn't the first bed I've purchased for The Tenement. I originally bought a double four poster but when it was in place it was pretty obvious that it was just too big given the amount of space I have to work with. The answer was to buy a single one. I went back to the lovely people at Ashwood Designs and asked if they could make me one identical to the double and this is it.
I've now had a chance to work on this bed and it's all ready to be put in place. (You can see the original here: Gladstone's Land). Work is still progressing on the ceiling but until that's completed I can't put the walls in and there are a few pieces I'll be looking for at Miniatura on Sunday but I'm happy with the way it's progressing.
Irene, The bed came out gorgeous!! I can't wait to see what you buy for yourself at the show!!
ReplyDeleteIrene, your bed looks great. I love the fabric you have used!
ReplyDeleteIt is perfect and beautiful, even the fabric you used is very close to the original. It is so wonderful to find the perfect miniature.

What a beautiful bed.
ReplyDeleteJust perfect Irene, the materials are wonderful. I have a few pieces from Ashwood, they are such nice people and the quality is really good.
ReplyDeleteYou have chosen the best choice: this bed is as good as the other and takes up half the space that, in the dollhouse, it is always a tyrant!
ReplyDeleteFabulous linen :-)

Wow! this bed is great, I love it.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful bed Irene! I think we forget that people were MUCH smaller in those days.... even recently a "double" bed was smaller than they now are! I think it looks perfect! Your fabric is beautiful too! I can't wait to see it in place!
ReplyDeleteI love it. The fabric is so close it is uncanny. It was nice to have you stop by for a visit. I have missed visiting you, I am glad you are posting.
ReplyDeleteFabulous bed and I love the fabric :)
