Master Bedroom Makeover

All winter I had wanted to paint my bedroom funiture, actually I wanted NEW furniture but that wasn't going to happen. So I had to do something and couldn't wait for the weather to warm up enough I could get started.

Here is a very bad picture of the BEFORE.
As you can see the dresser is a hunter green with fake wood tops.

More BEFORE pictures

The dressers were in pretty good condition except for the tops so with the help from my handy husband we removed and replaced them.


Alot of sanding


I did not get a before picture of the headboard but it was green and just had slats that were uncomfortale to lean your head against. So we(mostly Jace) took those out and replaced with the beadboard.

AFTER

I painted everything black and put several coats of polyurethane to protect my hard work

I wanted a light distressed look even though it was hard to sand off the paint I so carefully put on, I sanded the edges and used some stain to make it look darker.

Alot of work but well worth it. The worst part was after we brought the dressers back in the house it took a good week maybe two before we stopped smelling the polyurethane.

Stay tune for some other projects in my makeover!
