Maple Insists: McKenna's Bedding

Yo. Maple again. We are going to do the bedding post first because it was mostly ready and the Winter Wonderland pics post isn't as far along. But stay tuned for that post. They will probably be posted on Monday. Then the voting will begin. :-)

Here are the pics of McKenna's bedding, chair pad, and rug. Only one of these pieces will be used for our final project and the rest will belong to other beds here. We will use the mattress, which will have a new cover.

Bedding.





Circle pillow.




Chair pad and chair.... 



Fyi, The chair pad's ties are stitched into place so we had to carefully cut the stitches.

Stay tuned for more pics of McKenna's bed accessories sets. :-)

Maple Insists: McKenna's Loft Bed Intro

Whattup peoples. Maple here. I have taken over the blog for a little while/for this post/for a couple posts. I am tired of seeing CeCe and Kenna hog the posts. Yeah, I said it.

So I have been reading these Flavia books by Alan Bradley and watching Sherlock Holmes movies. Then I saw McKenna's Loft Bed and decided I wanted it so I could make it into my "Poisons and Criminal Investigatory Laboratory."

Luckily, Penny is humoring me (after staring at me blankly for a little while) and she ordered the bed. Here it is in pieces, hence the "Intro" part of the post title. There will be more pics of the other parts of the bed to come - the bedding, hamster set, accessories, etc. Soon. Probably some of that today.

The bed is still in pieces so that I can paint it more easily. Yeah, I said paint it. AG purists are crying somewhere right now. But the paint will come. Oh, it will come.

The title of this ongoing project will be "Maple's Laboratory" -- so if you want to find all the posts about this later on, just click the label "Maple's Laboratory." Hopefully that is clear....

The bed is actually more of a light pinky purple than what it appears to be in our photos. It looks a lot more purply in our pics than it is in reality.

The three pieces together, but not clicked together.



The left side.








The right side.





The top.



Bottom of the top piece, as you can see it is meant to click together in only one way.


Stay tuned for Part Two: McKenna's bedding, chair pad, and rug. :-)
