I added a bit of color to this baby furniture. 
 I used a colorful cotton and changed all the knobs to different colors.
  I even added little beads to the carriage wheels. 
I also added lace to the bottom of the cradle and
to the carriage hood as well.

 

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.
