This was a
"jackpot" piece.
We got it along with wrought iron chairs, tables,
bookcases, rockers and plant stands from DT.
I completely lined the interior
of the carriage,
made a pillow and trimmed it all with baby lace.
The umbrella was also covered with lace.
Little pink rosebuds and
green streamers added a finishing touch.
As you have probably
guessed,
I do better with fabric than I do with painted flowers.

These were
some of the nursery pieces that I used in
the 3rd floor dormitory of
the Southern mansion.
These pieces, combined with other punch outs
and Dollar Tree chests were all repainted in the same theme.
This
type of furnishings was basically
all I used to complete the rooms.

This
assortment of pieces Valerie did from a nursery sheet.
The toy
chest has a padded top, which was hinged
by simply adding ribbon
strips which go down the back
of the piece.
This same concept can
be used for a hamper.
The doll buggy has added painting and a ribbon
bow on the hood.
It has sequin hubcaps. The crib foot has a novelty
bear
(found on a jewelry scrap table) added.

Above is the
bed, the bentwood rocker, the highchair,
and rocking horse Valerie
did from punch outs.
The bed has little rosettes on the foot.
The
rocker has a velvet seat and arm rests with an appliqué touch.
The
high chair is as yet unfinished.
A clear coat
of shellac could
just be added.
The little horse has a fur strip for a mane and a
ribbon bridle.
The bassinet is two baskets.
One on it's side tucked into the
other.
The trim and lace were glued in place.
