Maple's Loft Bed with Steampunky Bedding

Part Three of this week's Mini Series. 

Tuesday we showed you the bedding - custom steampunk bedding from Quietude Quilts. Wednesday we showed you the bed (as it is so far, more detailing to be added). And today we show you both parts together.

First, the chair pad on the chair. 

We haven't finished painting the chair yet. We are currently experimenting with a combination of copper paint on the top scrollwork with crimson on the seat and bottom half of the chair. The 100% crimson chair kind of blends in a bit too much with the rest of the set, as you can see below. So we'll see how the new experiment goes. But that doesn't stop us from showing off these chair pad pics now. :-)

We have a lot of bedding pieces, so there are a lot of different ways you can configure them.

Mattress, sheet, and quilt

With all 5 pillows. This arrangement allows the dolls to sit on the bed like a couch/day bed.

Then here are more arrangements of the pillows and the two quilts. Remember - the quilts are conveniently reversible. :-)

While we are completely in love with all of our ideas for detailing the loft bed set - like the cork boards, copper piping, and clockwork system (which we still have to complete) - the "soft furnishings" of the bedding set are really what will complete the look of the set once it is finished.

Thank you Quietude Quilts!
