New Bedroom diorama...

Today I had some time and I finally finished sewing the bedspread for the crate bed for Poppy and Ryan's bedroom in their loft apartment. I also finished the photo shoot of their loft bedroom. Take in mind Poppy is moving in, for now, (she does have an apartment- that is for later) as Ryan lives with his younger siblings Hannah and Ricky. 








I made the bedspread out of two fabrics- the top one is a world map fabric by Tim Holtz and the back of it is the same color combo -sage green and eggshell cream polka dots so it can be reversed. I am still working on more pillows for it as well. This room will have a vintage/retro nautical theme. There are two nautical charms hanging over the bed- a brass octopus and a globe with an aged picture of an underwater nautical picture of an octopus- I got both of these on sale at Michael's. The two vintage gasoline signs are actually magnets from Hobby Lobby and the Coca-Cola sign over the door is one as well. Ryan collects vintage signs and antiques like the antique teacher's school desk which doubles as a vanity /desk to hold his electronics, his phone and his computer and lamp and watch at night. 

I used scrapbook brick paper for the floor. I made the bed last year. I used the window in my doll room as one wall for the diorama, to give the illusion this was a glassed in wall in the buiilding of Ryan and Poppy's loft apartment. The doors to their room are the folded up happy family living dollhouse. 

I hope to finish some more pillows for this bed soon. I also hope to get some racey Valentine's photos of the two in it as well, :) 

Enjoy!Lisa

I really love your bedroom! And how clever to put the room on the ledge next to the window - The real windows really give it a loft feeling.

thank you Phyllis! I really had alot of time on my hands yesterday and it was really really cold so I decided to set up this diorama in what space I had left in my doll room and it worked. I have a table in a spare room where I can temporarily set up the living room/kitchen of Ryan's apartment if Ineed to. This was part of that cool crate furniture I made last year in the summer/fall.
