I struck out at the flea market this weekend for the dresser for the armoir so I am back to craigslists! </p> <p>I am thinking White with maybe gold trim (if the detailing allows for it)...then any "accessories" being gold as well.</p> <p>@sleepybear: I have a couple fabrics picked out to cover the back on the inside with - so I'll check out wallpaper too - great idea! Maybe I will do the whole inside.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diy-advice-toddler-bed-amp-dress-up-armoir#post-2263959 Fri, 14 Aug 2015 19:20:05 +0000 Foodnerd81 2263959@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sleepybear: ooh I like the idea of lining it with cool wallpaper! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diy-advice-toddler-bed-amp-dress-up-armoir#post-2263858 Fri, 14 Aug 2015 16:49:06 +0000 mauxie 2263858@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd go with white, as well! Sounds like it'll be so cute! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diy-advice-toddler-bed-amp-dress-up-armoir#post-2263854 Fri, 14 Aug 2015 16:39:39 +0000 sleepybear 2263854@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think white, with gold hardware would look best. You could line the inside of the armoire with a coordinating wallpaper to add some more character, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diy-advice-toddler-bed-amp-dress-up-armoir#post-2263825 Fri, 14 Aug 2015 15:35:54 +0000 Mrs. J 2263825@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>White with gold/colored accents </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diy-advice-toddler-bed-amp-dress-up-armoir#post-2263819 Fri, 14 Aug 2015 15:32:02 +0000 kiddosc 2263819@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would do white </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diy-advice-toddler-bed-amp-dress-up-armoir#post-2263760 Fri, 14 Aug 2015 14:39:07 +0000 Foodnerd81 2263760@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think white would be nice and you can easily add more color with smaller accents. I agree with leaving gold for the fine details. I think that will be so sweet! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diy-advice-toddler-bed-amp-dress-up-armoir#post-2263748 Fri, 14 Aug 2015 14:27:05 +0000 Mrs D 2263748@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So - I need some DIY advice.</p> <p>I am working on DD's big girl room. My boss is amazing and gifted us her toddler bed. It is similar to the picture below - only the headboard and footboard are solid not slatted. </p> <p>The room will be a light purple, I am accenting with Pink &amp; Gold. Other key features of the room are: white curtains, white sheer canopy for her reading nook, purple/white bedding, a large predominantly pink canvas, white picture frames filled with gold letter words, some gold heart decals for the wall.</p> <p>I will also be making her a dress up armoir (second picture). My question is....what color should I paint the toddler bed &amp; dress up armoir? I have to paint the bed because of chipping paint - so I can do white or something else. As for the armoir...I am hoping to have a flea market find this weekend - so it will have to be painted as well.</p> <p>What do you ladies think? Gold? White? Paint them the same colors or different colors? I am going for a whimsical look in her room...and somewhat leaning towards leaving gold for just the fine details (decals, lettering in the art, hardware on the armoir/closet, maybe a mirror). </p> [attach=2617/15/nt37d5.500x500.Baby-Mile-Bailey-Sleigh-Toddler--pTRU1-18918319dt.jpg] [attach=2617/15/nt37d6.194x259.images.jpg]
