A few weekends ago I refinished a bedroom set for my 8 year old niece. It was the set she has been using, and the bed frame and dresser were actually her mom's (my sister-in-law's) furniture from when she was a little girl. I thought that was pretty cool! They were in the process of moving, so we thought it would be a good time for a change...so little Bethany could have cute new furniture for her new room!
I picked out colors that I thought would match her new quilt. For the bed frame I went with
Valspar's Churchill Hotel Vanilla
For the dresser and night stand I used Churchill Hotel Vanilla also, but I painted the drawers Shiitake
I picked out a cute knob from Hobby Lobby for the night stand that I thought went really well with the quilt!!
Because the night stand was laminate, I decided to go ahead and use Cover Stain on the entire set before I painted it.
Here is the dresser before it got it's makeover:
It was a fun project! I got to do what I love AND hang out with my sister-in-law, who watched my baby while I painted!!
