Re-upholstered bed base...

As I haven't made my mind up as to what type of bed i'd like...I re-upholstered our CHEAP temporary bed base today.


The image above is of how the bed based look this morning...which I have already upholstered with a helping hand from my sister. 

I'm also using the map of London which I had made as a head board...again this is only a temporary set up.

We moved the map from our bedroom in London...Image below.



1st time i've used the bath...


You can see that i used 3 layers padding then covered with fabric.
