Bed Before & After

This is my daughters bed before. As you know we're making over her bedroom. Her aunt offered her this great bed. She has been SO EXCITED!!!! I told her she could take the before pics....and here they are....before's by a 10 yr. old!!! It's actually a captains bed. It came out of a college dorm room....which is perfect because her room is small. It has 4 large drawers. The front had been painted white...sortive......

The drawers were black......

After lots of painting......


Here is a sneak peek of how it turned out!!! She painted the entire bed black. I decided to use leftover paper from the cornice to cover the drawers.





I need to make a trip to Hobby Lobby for new handles. We still have to paint and I have lots of spray painting and sewing to do!!! I'll keep you posted!

  2. LOVE!!!!
    You are so so so so creative!
    I love how you take something and give it a brand new outlook :)
    I want to apologize if I said something last week that may have hurt you when I mentioned that your pictures should be bigger.
    I was thinking about it, and I thought you may have taken that the wrong way--like I was trying to tell you how to do something better.
    When, all I really meant was, that I love your ideas and home, and that I would love to see more/bigger pictures of your ideas and home.
    Does that make sense?
    Anyway, I hope I didn't come across as a ninny-poo when I typed that. It was meant in the nicest way to encourage you!
    You are loved!

  3. Crystal, your daughter's bed is going to be a knockout!!! I can already tell it's fabulous! I can hardly wait to see the finished reveal!

    Thanks for visiting my blog and your kind words! I looked at my pictures last night after the Rubber Ducky Shower and to my horror, I forgot to take a picture of the cupcakes...I asked a few of the girls if they happened to get one and so far nada. I have one more person to ask. They turned out so cute, but I had so many things on the table I left the desserts in the kitchen and ugh, they were put on the plates and handed out from there! :( And many ppl took one or two home and I was left with only one, that had been robbed of it's Rubber Ducky...I believe the robber was aka Lulu (my Granddaughter)! She loooves fondant! Hugs, Debbie@ Cottage Hann~Me~Downs
