Aqua love

I have finally completed the bedroom set I told you in the previous post I received from my DIL who had tried to paint it black. I had to do a lot of sanding but luckily she had only got as far as the headboard.

headThis is a half an hour worth of sanding.

I decided to go with an aqua color for this set. I stripped down the tops of the dressers and rubbed them down with hemp oil and then polyed over them. I went pretty shabby on them and glazed over them. I absolutely love the way they turned out! I’m going to have these featured next month at the antique mall I sell out of.

The headboard I painted a nest on it and wrote nest in white lettering. The footboard I painted a branch on it.

I’m excited to see how long it will last at the antique mall!  Have a great day! Traci

  1. This turned out great, didn’t it! I had my old bedroom furniture painted black and it turned out well. However, the person who did it asked me not to give his name to anyone because it was a pain in the neck to paint. Love the aqua!

  2. It was fun to come by here and see your blog. Pricing is hard. I’m sure I under price things, but they still don’t sell! I am just in a different market in my local and I’m sure if I sold at Brass I would need to make adjustments. I wish it was clear cut on how to do it, but everyone says its not! How are you old enough to have a DIL??? Your facebook picture makes you look way young! I’m no blog expert and I’d like to do lots of things on my blog better than I am doing, but you should post bigger pictures and make a profile. I just read a blog for bliss book by Tara Frey???? Something like that and that was a couple things she found were important. I’ll start following you through blogger. Is this your full time gig? Brooke http://junkparlor.blogspot.com
