I still liked the duvet I sewed for I. a couple of years ago, and I loved the fabric. In fact, I still had a lot left over. BUT . . . I do know that it's not what I love forever. We'll be doing something new sometime in the future. Maybe matching platform beds.
In the meantime, I tried to use what I had to make M.'s big girl bed match in this room.
I cut apart the crib skirt and made it into a bed skirt - shhh. . . . it only goes on 2 sides. I had to add a couple of inches to the top in order for it to hang low enough, but figured the duvet would cover that.
I used this swiss dot (hard to photograph) for the duvet. Sewing a duvet cover is like sewing a giant pillowcase - the concept is easy, but it can be kind of a beast working with such fabric.
2 strips of Amy Butler fabric down the sides topped with pink grosgrain ribbon.
Extra pillows from M.'s crib, plus a few new ones. Of course, the pillows are monogrammed; but I turned them over.
And, that's what we've got. . . .
I don't even think I can tell you the other plans for this room. I love the storage platform bed that I've seen. It seems like when I do that, it takes me a year to finish them!

You chose one of my favorite Amy Butler fabrics! I can't get over how cute this is! I just keep staring at all the little details. What a fantastic space!
How cute! We moved Lauren into her big girl bed last week but her room still feels like a giant hodge podge of things baby and new. I need to get off my duff and get to work after seeing yours!
Wow! Great job reworking what you already had. It turned out great!
Love!!
It looks great, Laurel! I love how you made it coordinate with I's bedding, but not matchy matchy. Very pretty. :)
I love what you did with the bedding! Those big pink balls are tissue, heh? Wow; fabulous touch!
Very cute - love the fabric. Wish I had a few girlies around here to use cute fabric in their rooms....
I can't believe you did that yourself- it looks like PB photo-shoot room.
WoW! Absolutely wow!
Sigh.
I so want to be you when I grow up.

You are the sewing queen! I love everything about the bedding and the space! =)

Darling fabric choices and those pom poms are awesome! My little girl has a chime hanging in her room and she hits it constantly. I don't think the pom poms would last long unfortunately!

What lovely fabrics/colors/patterns! So sweet and girly, but not TOO sweet and girly--if that makes sense!! :0) hehehe
I know what you're saying about sewing a duvet cover--I did them for my girls' room and ended up sitting on the floor with my sewing machine so I had enough space! LOL!
PS--I love your blog title and photo! Too cute!
Fabulous room! I love the tissue paper flowers and the bedding is amazing, I love all the colors!

The bedding is so pretty! I really like that it's subtle with the swiss dot and then the bold pattern.
