Oak bed makeover
As you have read, I am in love with spraypaint. I keep finding things around my house to paint. Seriously, I think it has become an addiction :/ It started with the lamp makeover, then the picture frame. Now, my son’s full size bed! My very first makeover was a nightstand for his room. Now he has a matching bed.
Before
It was old and very worn
During
After
Supplies
sandpaper – for shiny surfaces
mask – for stinky paint
primer – I chose gray primer (because of the black paint) and the filler, honestly, because it was the only gray primer I could find at Home Depot 
. It did help fill in a deep scratch.
I am still an amateur at this….and I was in a rush because too many people were on the paint isle….but it did get the job done!
2 cans of black spray paint
A and Z (nicknames we use for the boys) decided to share a room a few months ago. This project is one of MANY projects keeping me busy. I can’t wait for the final reveal……
Happy Monday!

It looks great Jen! The bedding really pops now.
I enjoy a quality post which is a very good effort. Keep up the good work with your blog.

Wow, that looks great! Good job!
Thank you all so much!
I need some distressed furniture for my “beach room” I am not finding anything that I am just crazy about. I would like to get the room started and finished by the end of May. HELP!!
Melissa – send me an email with some of your ideas and I will be glad to help :)

looking good.
this looks so great!! i redid my daughter’s bed about 2 months ago, but did it in white. funny thing is, it’s almost the exact same bed you have pictured here except that it’s a twin and post toppers (? i guess) are balls, but they have kind of a flat top. but the rest of it looks the same. just curious, where did you get it?
Thank you! It was given to me by my aunt :)
Beautiful job! Great technique! Looking forward to seeing more!
Thank you! Spraypaint is awesome…I wish I would have realized this sooner :)
Jennifer,

Linda
I came to your party! Thank you!
Good job. I like your results.
Thank you. Maybe one day I will learn to sew :)
Funny thing my brother has the exact bed and it was mine before I gave it to him. I might as well do it over for him THANK YOU!
great choice with the black, looks great! thanks for partying at Type A!
This looks great. I look forward to seeing you at My Dream Canvas.
You are doing a great job with the room, can’t wait for the final reveal :) Thanks so much for adding your link to Beach Cottage Good Life Wednesdays and joining to the party!
You did a really great job. I can relate to your spray paint addiction. The only thing stopping me right now is the cold weather we are still having. Thanks for sharing at my Swing into Spring party.
it looks lovely in black! so much better and more classic!
Looks great!
Spray painting is totally addicting!! nice job!
Gotta love paint. The transformation is like magic! Can’t wait to see the boys’ room! Thanks so much for linking up to Terrific Under Ten.
I LOVE it….and I never knew they made “filler” spraypaint! Thanks so much for linking! :)
The bed looks just like new. I just discovered spray paint too, but I am not sold yet. I spray painted my front door yesterday, but I should probably have used two canisters. Oh, well. It did at least cover the worst of it. Found you at New Nostalgia.

Thank you for the feature! You made my night :)
I have a similar bed and matching chest that I inherited from an Aunt. I keep debating whether to paint it or not. If I should ever decide to paint it, I know how to do it.
Glad you stopped by my blog :) I am quite the amateur when it comes to painting/redoing furniture. I hope my post helped you..I learn from trial and error :) Let me know how it turns out.
