Hey guys! I have had a lot of questions on how I painted my bedroom furniture. Here is the before….
We bought this furniture when we were married (almost 9 years ago) and it was time for a change! I love the lines in the headboard and I was not ready to fork over $$$ for new furniture, so I used Dutch Boy White Oak latex paint in a satin finish.
Here is the after!
I used a whizz roller and a Purdy paintbrush to paint on two coats! I LOVE the Dutch Boy paint btw! It only needed two coats, the smell is very minimal and the texture of the paint is awesome!
I am in love with my new bedroom now! It really is amazing that a gallon of paint can make such a huge difference!
I painted the iron on the headboard but went back and distressed it a little.
Now, I am no expert when it comes to painting furniture and I’m sure the experts will say to strip, sand down, prime and all that fun stuff but…….I’m working during nap time;) I spent about 5 hours total painting every piece in my room (dresser and armoire not shown) and I am very happy with outcome! Love me some Dutch Boy White Oak;)

I have this same set! Can I use chalk spray paint for my makeover? I have sand down two drawers and spray painted them, but it might not hold up well to wear and tear…Help?
Hi, I also love what you did with the bedroom .
How are you finding it easy or hard to keep clean from dust and etc? I purchased my set in white and I love the seaside cottage feel of it but within two years it was showing wear and tear.
I wondered if you one – used a roller,brush or spray to paint the bed?
and two- if you had to sand down the set first before painting ?
three if you covered it in a semi gloss or what?
Thanks,
Absolutely beautiful!!!! I may have to give this a try!!! Thanks for the great idea!
