So - I had a week to kill, and no one seemed to be around so, after four years, I finally painted my headboard, footboard and rails. Four years. Craziness. Kenzie was 8 when I bought this bed frame. I got a steal of a deal on it but it was cream, and if you know me, you know my preference is black, black, black. Onyx black to be exact. Can't get much blacker than that. I love the look of black furniture. So, when I bought it, Frank commented, "so let me get this straight. You bought a brand new bed, but we can't use it until you paint it?" Correct. I just didn't think four years would slip by before it came to fruition.
I was supposed to spend my week out back working on the yard with Frank (he took this week off as well), but in the end, he asked me to do just one thing - paint the bed. So, that is what I did, and it's gorgeous. I love it every bit as much as the day I bought it, which is a good thing. I'm glad my style has stayed french country over the years. I still love our house and the way it's decorated. Which is good - I have other places for my money to go then into redoing the house.
So, here's a peak -- before and after...
Voila. Can't wait to get it in the house and set it up! More Pictures to follow.
