When I did the dry fit, I had the clothes pins (clamps) in the way. This made for some bad measuring.... It seems that the 1/2" or so -- on each side -- makes for about a one inch gap... darn it. I could disassemble the bed and reassemble the rails, but that glue is very strong so I would have to break off the pieces and sand it down. Really not practical. I'm looking at the photo and it doesn't look terrible, but I think I need to remake the mattress and box spring.
I did the measurements for a queen sized bed and scaled it using the height of the doll as being the average.... So this will be wider. close to king but not exactly. Well, I do know that there is no standard sized doll bed out there (It's not like I'll need to buy sheets)... So maybe I will make another bed since I have an extra mattress and box spring... Maybe I can make another for a swap or something.

Don't you hate when that happens! The bed looks great, by the way.
ReplyDeleteThanks! It's actually better than I imagined. (Next time I'll measure twice, and make only once :)
