Fitting three little kids into one small 1:6 scale bedroom where space was at a premium was really going to challenge my brain.
Of course that bed would be far too big for my kids, hell, even a 1:6 scale bed is going to take up a whole heap of room. However, if I went a little smaller it wouldn't be so bad, and let's face it, these kids are hardly what you would call tall!
Speaking of tall, I realised this bed would need to be exactly that if I was going to fit their fat little heads under a bunk. I think I'm going to have to pull a Jodi and be a little creative with the size of this bed.
Okay here's where I'm at ~ I've decided it will be 27cm long by 14 cm wide and 27 cm tall.
The next step was to make the head and foot template for hubby to use to cut the MDF.
If I didn't already have such a lot of furniture I would try this. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteYou can never have too much furniture Mia. You're welcome. 😘
DeleteOooh it looks like a great plan! Can't wait to see!
ReplyDeleteThank Jodi, now it's done there are a few tweaks I'd like to make, but isn't that the way of things? 😄
DeleteIt's great to be able to make things for yourself when manufacturers don't fulfill all of your dolly needs.
ReplyDeleteI'm just happy I have a hubby who helps when the need arises Barb. Too often we all come across items that we'd love for our dolls and wish they were in the right scale. However, we can always use them for inspiration. 😘
DeleteThis is a great idea and reminds me of the bed my grandmother (father's side) had in the guest house. Big hugs!
ReplyDeleteThank you Niina, it's really a very simple project to do and could easily be made in different scale if you want to give it a try. 😘
