Playtimes

A little project I have worked to restore in these days of isolation , has been this antique dolly bed.
My great-granddaughter loves to play with her dollies.

First a gentle sanding, and then two applications of child-friendly paint. 
Next, I ordered two bespoke waterslide decals from England, and applied them to the headboard and footboard.

A vintage treasure reborn.

It turned out to be wonderful. Your decals and great paint job were winner choices. You inspire me to paint a child's chair that I was going to strip and stain.
