A Big Girl Bed - Made With Love

Last weekend Charlee moved into a big girl bed.

Greg made it.........(of course) using a plan from here.

Ana-White's plans have been mentioned all over the home decorating blogisfere for the last year. I thought we'd give one of her plans a try when we made the bed. Greg had to make a few moderations to the size, height and materials. Greg also needed to modify the method of joining the frame to the bed head as it was not strong enough or safe.

We're really happy with how it turned out. What do you think? Want to know what Charlee thinks?? She loves it.

Note: The flowers on the shelf above the bed are from my dad, given to us at Charlee's birth. The crocheted blanket is from the mum of a dear friend. She made it for us when Jaime was born, knowing that I would miss not having my mum around to make things like that (my mum was a wonderful knitter and crafts person). So it's nice to have a few of those treasured items in miss Charlee's room.
