Sweet Dreams

Felicity and Elizabeth dolls (American Girl) are being
retired at the end of December.
Elizabeth's bed is lovely (above) but quite expensive.

Jeff ordered the bedding and then made the bed and the
mattress yesterday.
Katie was the painter.:)

Here is the completed bed and one happy little girl!

I was so impressed! The bed is about $70 in the catalog
and Jeff made it for around $10.

 Sweet dreams, Elizabeth...

Wonder what they will make next?

    ADORABLE! I have American Girl dolls from when I was younger but they did not have all the fun accessories. :)What a great handyman you got there, and cute painter! Love, Val!

    That is fabulous! Jeff could make a fortune in the doll furniture business! I love that they did this project as a team! What a great memory! That's a family heirloom now:)

    Lori, what a beautiful bed!! It is amazing how much AG charges for these items and how inexpensively they can be made. They have to make $$ too I guess. My oldest daughter, Megan had a Kirsten doll and she had someone in the woodshop at school make her a bed and we painted and stencilled it just like the one in the catalog!
