Painting. And sanding.
Here's what my bed looked like before.
Very dark. I wanted to change up the look.
After this project I debated about painting my huge bed. I knew it was going to be a big job but I couldn't get it out of my mind.
I finally decided to block out two days last week to just stay home and get it done.
I chose Behr's "Light French Gray" from Home Depot.
I just love how it turned out. It lightens up the whole space. And its not white. I love white, but my husband claims I paint everything white nowadays. So this was a little challenge for me, and I think gray is my new favorite color--after white.
The gray looks beautiful on your bed! A lot of work with a big payoff!
ReplyDeleteIt's gorgeous! Every single photo makes me sigh "oh, so pretty!". :)

I LOVE it! I too love gray, second to white. . . and pale turquoise blue. Your bed turned out gorgeously. I am now tempted to paint my nearly black bed a lovely french gray.

The must have been a big job, it looks wonderful. The light color was a good choice.
ReplyDeleteSo gorgeous! The gray is so airy and light!
ReplyDeletePopped over from Mustard Seed Creations and I have to tell you how pretty your bed looks now. Love the gray. I've been on a blue/gray kick myself and think I'm going to do the next in a soft gray...thanks for inspiring!
ReplyDeleteThis is a fabulous shade of gray. I love the way it turned out. Looks great with your bedding too.
ReplyDeleteI love how this turned out! And I have the exact same 2 quilts on my bed...How funny?? :-)
