I had planned to make a different bed, but time constraints called for Plan B. This is a kit from HBS, and it went together quickly and easily. I used Minwax English Chestnut for the finish.
The kit included white twine to rope the bed. The instructions tell you to cut the twine in equal parts, but the rope wasn’t long enough. :\ So, I used DMC 841 Light Beige Brown. Saved me the trouble of having to tea stain the rope, and it worked just as well. That’s a House of Miniatures side table in progress, and the rug is from Manor House Minis.
I used the kit’s foam mattress, covered it with millinery batting, plain white sheets, a sunflower printed bedspread and a wool blanket made from heather grey felt.
