Found cottag3.com while I was searching for similar repro decals to go on an old metal Amsco doll crib from 1950 or thereabouts. The original decals have just about oxidized away. Hope you decided to keep the crib in its original condition; the decal actually looks to be in great shape in your pix. What did you end up doing about it anyway?

I now want to give it to my grand daughter but has rusted through and looks kind of gross. The decal makes it all authenic so my opinion is: clean it up,paint over the decal or leave it totally alone. Enjoy!

Perhaps use a fabric that would look cute with the color of the bed and letters that say "Maisy". Stick it onto the magnetic sheet and you have a nameplate without taking away from the vintage decal on the bed.patti.khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01815557054312823121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7553855640593117259.post-37279726357664507702011-09-16T19:41:17.411-07:002011-09-16T19:41:17.411-07:00Well the bed and Maisy are both adorable!

Pl...I love the bed, my cats have one very similar! Please, please, please don't paint it, you could never duplicate that perfect patina. I really like the slip cover idea, but you will lose most of the color since those are the biggest areas. You might try using fabric like wallpaper just on the inside of the end panels. Maybe something that will complement the fabric of the pillow. If you don't want it to be permanent you can use fabric starch to attach it.Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04277114974928075699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7553855640593117259.post-85799423430005357142011-09-14T07:42:44.719-07:002011-09-14T07:42:44.719-07:00I like the slip cover idea to cover the decal - I ...I like the slip cover idea to cover the decal - I don't like it either, I had enough of the cutesy bunnies and bears in the 80s lol. Have you tried goo gone or something like that to remove it? Of course, the paint underneath might be a different color. But I've had great luck with goo gone to remove old stuck on stuff. It's an adorable bed for an adorable dog, though :-) My 3 60 pounders would crash it to the ground lol.<br /><br />Pattypbrennerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04762045437788630044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7553855640593117259.post-86660723975475887622011-09-14T06:54:21.330-07:002011-09-14T06:54:21.330-07:00Leave the decal, that's what makes it so vinta...Leave the decal, that's what makes it so vintage."

That would get rid of the decal you don't like, and would also keep the paint. Just a thought, anyways.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11936405390121535135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7553855640593117259.post-6979132904558196492011-09-13T19:56:39.187-07:002011-09-13T19:56:39.187-07:00I love the new header and blog name.

I have to confess I was totally against you changing the name as I really never like change, but using the 3 as the E is very clever and looks fantastic.<br /><br />AS for the dog bed. How about sewing or making a slip cover (like a bib) that covers the decal, but leaves the paint. For that matter what about a bit of wallpaper to cover that area on the inside of the headboard, but leaves the rest of it blue. The bed is so cute and especially with her in it.Grace @ Sense and Simplicityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14185222544452668586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7553855640593117259.post-30366418139978596242011-09-13T19:17:42.073-07:002011-09-13T19:17:42.073-07:00I love the decal!
