A Doll Bed for Lovebug...

This past Christmas {I know... I'm so behind} we were so excited to give our sweet girl some handmade gifts. I shared the first, her quilt- HERE.

The second gift was bought long before Christmas. I picked it up at Children's Orchard- my friend owns the store and called to tell me about the great find. I immediately picked it up, brought it home and put it in the basement for a little TLC later.

When Brian decided that he'd re-do it for Lovebug and give it to her for Christmas, I was thrilled! He's such a wonderful Daddy... completely in love with his little girl and would do anything for her.

The bed was in good condition. It just needed a little wood glue, some paint and personalization. He sanded, painted, distressed it, and added the monogram, using a stencil. He left the bottom bed plain, so we could add Baby Sissy's initial later.

While he worked on all that, I sewed up two pillow covers for the foam mattresses he bought. I used leftover material from her nursery bedding, and it's pictured here with a pillow I made for her rocking chair and her baby quilt that I made before she was born.

I was so pleased with how it turned out! Bri did a great job and our girl LOVES it! As soon as he brought it out, she quickly found her babies and put them in bed- blankets and all. Each night before bed, she tucks them in... precious.
