I was so excited to finally get this bed done! I bought it at Savers for $15.00 in November. Since yesterday, it sat in my sister's garage, just waiting for some tender loving care. I loved the lines on this bed and my daughter was thrilled with my vision for her new room. She chose Sherwin Williams "waterfall" for her paint color. I used that color in a Glidden eggshell sample jar that I had made up at Home Depot. The little sample paint jar was only $2.50 and I only needed one for the whole bed.
Since I am not an expert or a professional painter, I did this my way! My daughter and I cleaned the bed well but we didn't sand it at all. I also didn't use any primer first.
Next we started painting! It was a beautiful, warm summer day so luckily the paint dried fast and made for easy work!
We finished painting in about two hours, maybe less. We let it dry overnight, then took it inside to await our move to our new house!
I just love how it turned out! I'll post pictures of her entire room, bedding, furniture, and all, after we move in.
