American Girl Doll Furniture for Little Miss

Thank the Lord for little girls! My Averi Grace is at such a fun age right now. She turned 6 in June and I had doll furniture in mind for her birthday. At Christmas she got a very special present, an American Girl Doll from her Grandma Lane and G. I thought this would be the perfect time for her dad to make a bed for her beloved doll.

Timing worked out perfectly because my older sister passed along this mini dresser that we got when we were little girls from our Grandma Lupe. It's a little big for doll furniture but not too bad and all that storage is wonderful!

A bed and dresser for the doll were now in order.
I went to work on the dresser with this...

Here's how she turned out...

Brett built the bed and painted it the night before her birthday. It was a late night but it's always worth it when it's something special like this. For the bedding, I just used an extra pillow sham (Simply Shabby Chic at Target).

Here's the happy little set of furniture and the doll...

This doll has become part of the family. Averi considers our house even with 3 boys (dad+2 brothers) and 3 girls (mom+averi+doll). That works great for me because I don't think I can handle any more kids... like ever :)

Here's a photo of little miss on her special day...

She's a keeper that's for sure!
So thankful for her and all the girly girl stuff we get to enjoy together.
