Bed & Ottoman from scratch

This vignette is beautiful

That is gorgeous! May I ask what kind of fabric you used for the bedding/skirt? The drape is incredibly realistic.

Oh its just beautiful, great job

I used a sheer like cotton (it was a curtain panel I'd picked up at a thrift store, great place to find unique fabric cheap!). The draping I'd done by soaking it with a good dose of Aleen's Stiffen Quick, I then used skewers to manipulate the folds until I liked the way they looked... Let dry over night and it stiffened and the drape stays!

Tried to upload an image but it wouldn't let me :(

I think the bed is awesome, Jennifer!    And that bench is great!  

Did you make your own wainscot, or was it one of those pre-made panels?   The room is just wonderful!

I always say, More is More. This is gorgeous!!! Beautiful job, I love the colors and the flourishes. I'm afraid to try draping fabrics, yours look awesome!

Thank you so much, that actually makes perfect sense. I love the RL look of actual linen bed coverings, and this is looks so close to that. I seriously want to roll around on that bed. ;)

It looks beautiful!

This room has so much character, I can almost see the face of the woman who lives in it, I imagine she is beautiful with great taste.
