Sleeping...!?!

I know...it must have looked like I have been sleeping for a long long time! But no, I did not! RL asked a lot of my time untill recently and there's the moving of my workshop to another and bigger room! Which is really neat but also takes a lot of time as you can imagine.

But this week I did find some time to start on miniatures again. I've even been  working on 2 bedrooms for my canalhouse. 



 One is ofcourse the traditional "blue room" and for the contempory room I've upholstered the bed, I even decorated the legs with goldleaf.
(which you probably won't see when the bed is made up, but I know it's there!)
Ofcourse this bed won't stay in the "Blue room" which will get a canopy bed instead.
Also I'm still not sure about this floor.....

Oooh and the blue looks a lot different on the photo's then in reality, it's called Blue Grey. The white pieces of wall will be decorated with blue printed silks ofcourse, the same fabric will be used for it's bed. And yes next door will be the bathroom with a chinoiserie wallpaper and no not in blue this time.


And here's the contempory bed, I found this amazing printed fabric at a local store which got me started again!

    1. Hoi Conny,
      Dankjewel alleen het bed is voor een andere slaapkamer. Inmiddels wen ik ook al aan de vloer.
      Groetjes,

  2. Oh Jeffry I love that color, it's too bad about the gold leaf not showing on the bed but at least you'll know it's there (and so will we)

    Hugs

    1. Hi Marisa,
      Blue is one of my favorite colors and ofcourse the natural colors on the bed as well! Yes we know that those gilded legs are there.
      Thanks,

  5. Hello Jeffry,
    THe room is off to a beautiful start. the bed is gorgeous. The floor might end up being a very nice contrast to the bed and the rest of the room.
    big hug,

    1. Hey Giac,
      Thank you there will be more (detail)work in the room before it's finished. I'm very pleased with the bed myself, it's a Bespaq one, I like the shape of it. We'll see about the floor...I'm getting used to it.
      Thanks
      Jeffry.

    1. Hi Troy,
      Thanks, although the bed wasn't finished it was time to share some pics with you all.
      It's a Bespaq bed, mahogany with red stripped fabric. I fell for the shape and in this case it was easier than to create it myself since I will be making the canopy bed!

    1. Hi Geneviève,
      Glad to hear you like the color of the room. This shape for the bed was in my head for years. And when I saw this fabric I had to buy it for this bed.

    1. Hi Elizabeth,
      In my head I had a different kind of color for this floor, warmer and a bit lighter was the idea. But during staining I knew that this one would look different. So i sanded it down a bit. And now whith the lighter color blue on the walls I get used to it. Making the bed was so much fun.
      Thanks,
      Jeffry.

  10. Great bed! Is the fabric from that shop close to the museum? I think that was the best (miniature)fabric store I have ever been to. I may have to come for another visit soon ;-)

    The room looks wonderful already. What don't you like about the floor? Maybe with the fourposter in it and a rug or two you won't even notice what you don't like anymore.

    1. Hi Josje,
      Thank you, I really liked this modern bed.
      Yes it's that wonderfull shop. Just let me know when you're going it's allways fun to visit thier shop.
      I'm happy with the room the only "problem" with the floor was the color, I wanted it lighter/warmer shade because I was affraid that the room would be very dark when it is completely covered in blue. Indeed I can allway put blue carpeting on the floor ;)
      Thanks,
      Jeffry.

    1. Hi AM,
      Glad you like the bed as well. Even though the print is a big it fits perfect for the contempory room. The lady of the shop said: I see that you found our new fabrics, I try to go there +/- every 2 months and never go home empty handed!
      Thanks,
      Jeffry.
