pretty sleigh bed



Here is another redo ...
This was a sleigh bed that we bought at an auction.  
It was very beat up.
I decided to make it more modern and to paint it black.

We used a soft black paint and slightly distressed it.  Finished her with a couple coats of poly.  
She is ready to be slept in again!

    I've had a beautiful sleigh bed in my garage all summer that I was going to paint black. Wish I had seen your post for inspiration before I sold it last weekend at my yard sale. It is in very good shape and really doesn't even need any paint, but I thought the black would make it more desireable. But every time I looked at it, I just felt more tired. Now it lives at my neighbor's house next door, so it has a really good home.
