Castle Bed...

So if you follow 

Sweet Sweet Simplicity 

on 

face book 

you would know that I am making a castle bed 

(and see all the progress pics)

for 

Princess Brooke

Ehhhhhh probably 

(it is...let's see how much hair I have left in this head of mine when I'm done ;-) i kid I kid)

the biggest project I have taken on

BUTTTTTTT

Pshhhhh I got this

Here is the basic look we were going for....kind of but not really....haahaahaaha

(I used the Ana White Castle bed plans to get the basic purchase list

...and to get me started

http://ana-white.com/2011/10/plans/castle-loft-bed....

Just an FYI this bed will look nothing like Ana White's)

Lots of changes AND additions are being made as we go along

and some before I even started....Adding stairs and a slide

I am friends with the lady that I am making this for and have 

ehhhh pretty much the same taste as her 

(She has many...manyyyyy of the pieces I have made in her absolutely gorgeous home)

So we are working together to make the changes

One change we have decided is to change the entry....

Stay tuned for that change this weekend

here are a couple of pics of the progress so far

Making the templates for the decorative tops on the castle

When done we will decide if painting or wallpapering will look best

This weekend will be a super busy weekend getting this project moving.....

CAN'T WAIT TO SEE IT COMPLETED!!!!!

UPDATE.....

Sooooo I would totally love to take credit....but I had to call in a professional....I was a nervous wreck worrying about the safety of a child playing on this beauty....thanks to Mike Rickenbaugh's assistance in helping me.
