I Painted My Bedroom Furniture !

 Last week, my daughter and I with the help of 2 sons ( the sons didn't paint they were only physical labor ) and 1 girlfriend painted our bedroom furniture! The bedroom set was old I think 26 years old. and it was ugly ! We have talked about getting new furniture but there was always something else was needed , so it gets pushed to the end of the list. We used homemade chalk paint..

 There was a whole bed wall for the headboard and my son took it and the two cabinets  that were on top off , so we are just left with the nightstands and the back of the bed wall. This whole process has made our bedroom look so much bigger. I am on the lookout for a king size headboard to paint..We spray painted all the knobs and handles instead of buying new.. they were a brass color.

 There was ugly stained glass in the cabinets on the top of the hutch .. I was going to take the hutch part off the dresser and just buy a mirror to hang on the wall, but I turned the glass over so it was smooth and painted it with chalkboard paint.

It was a great way to lose the stained glass!

 We painted all the furniture in the bedroom.. slid boards and dropcloths under each piece. We had all the drawers lined up in the bathrooms.. It only took one day to paint it all but it took a couple days to get everything back in order.. It was so worth it ! I got new burlap lampshades at Hobby Lobby ..they are the round drum shaped ones shown below.

 They look so much better! This whole project was right around $100.00 including the lampshades! While this was going on my husband was out of town on a business trip, and he had no idea this was going on .. He did ask why I went with off white and not a color :) I just couldn't decide on a color so off white it was !

Thanks so much for your visits and comments !
