After trekking for hours through the Brimfield Antiques Show, we found this $40 bed. I love that it's so tall, with the carving at the top. The frame was missing a few parts and wasn't the right size for a modern mattress. But the headboard was just the ticket! So I got rid of the footboard and focused on the headboard.

Unfortunately, it had a musty, mildew odor. So I wiped it down with a bleach mixture and let it sit out in the sun for awhile. Then I painted it with a coat of sealing primer, followed by two coats of semi-gloss enamel.


The last quick little project was this table. I found it at Habitat for Humanity's ReStore - $10!!! A quick coat of spray paint and it made the perfect bedside table.
I guess it's time to start looking for projects for our next house!

May I ask where you got the bedding for this bed? I love the aqua and green. Also, where did you get the little blue side table? I can hardly wait to see your next project. I love your style.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Heather! The bedding set came from Maine Cottage. I bought it a few years ago, so I'm not sure it's still available. And I got the little table at Dwellings in Falmouth, Maine. I love that store!
DeleteStay tuned for the next project, we're getting started soon!

I'm really looking forward to it!
