The finished bed! I'm very happy how it turned out, specially since it's the first one I have made. The sheets are satin, the bedspread is velveteen and the bed skirt is lace. Two sleeping pillows and one decorative pillow with a black rose complete the ensemble. I have put it up for sale in my shop. I hate to part with it, but there is no more room in my dollhouse. I hope it can find a good new home...

Finished bed

A very unusual but very cool bed...
I was just browsing through the new listings for dollhouses at Etsy, and I came upon this beauty from huesdesigns:
So unique and so well-thought! I love how it includes a bit of soil under the coffin! Many people have forgotten than, according to traditional vampire lore, vampires have to rest in the soil that created them to keep their powers- that means they had to have soil of the land in which they were born as vampires. Why did you think Dracula traveled with coffins full of dirt?
If my lady vampire wasn't used to luxurious beds and fabrics will very much like to have a bed like this one!

Working on my bed...
No, I'm not laying on my bed while working! I am working on dressing my old dollhouse bed while my new Tudor bed arrives. I was inspired by debsminis' beautiful beds, and wanted to try and make my own.
It didn't occur to me to take a picture before beginning the process, but here is a catalog picture of how my bed was dressed when I purchased it - my bed is a different model, though; doesn't have a canopy:
Quite simple and unoriginal, right?

Quite simple and unoriginal, right?When I began to change the house setting for my vampire tenant, I did not want to spend much time working with fabric, so I simply laid a burgundy velvet bedspread over it and made a couple of throw pillows:
You can see the ivory bedding underneath.
Well, the make-over began yesterday. I chose a burgundy and black theme, to be in sync with the rest of the house. What can I say? My vampire loves those colors! The fabrics of choice were lace, satin and velvet. Luscious and decadent. I'll post pics when it's finished...
