A $20 Craigslist Bed Revamped!

 I found 2 twin sleigh beds on Craigslist for $20 each!!
All they needed was a little TLC!

 A couple of areas had some damage....so I just used some wood filler to fill in the scratched grooves

Let dry and sand smooth....

 I first used a coat of Kilz2 primer....then 2 coats of Glidden's Delicious Red.
This color will look PINK while painting but no worries...the color turns out Fabulous!!

 I painted inside because it was like 100 degrees in the garage!

 Right next to where I was painting was a decorative star candle holder just calling my name...so I traced it onto the bed frame....

 and painted it with some of Annie Sloan's old white paint....

 I thought the footboard needed some stars too....

 So I took the small glass star out of my candle holder and traced
3 stars onto the foot board

again using the chalk paint..

 I then used some of Annie Sloan's dark wax and waxed the
headboard, foot board and side rails...

 

Now doesn't this $20 bed frame look like a Pottery Barn piece 

that cost $100's! 

Makes you rethink throwing out that old piece of furniture....huh???
I plan to make a bench out of the other bed frame:-)

Check out all the places I party!
