New Life for an Antique Bed May 31, 2013
One of my dear customers, bought this bed and dresser, at the shop, for her daughter, before I could paint it.
This was one of our most challenging projects. These pieces had been neglected for some time. Mr. Wonderful worked his magic on the bed and Patti and I took it from there.
This filler was our magic ingredient. It’s super easy to work with. It takes sanding and paint beautifully.
A soft pink chalk-based paint, was the customer’s color choice and I used a cream colored paint, mixed with clear wax, to highlight the molding.
The new owners stopped by the shop today, to see their baby and were very happy with the new look!
Hopefully, it will serve as a sweet dream factory for another hundred years! Next…the dresser!
Really beautiful Barbara. remember that Chinese chest I told you about? It need that spackling!

Beautiful! I think that was the piece Patti was working on last Wednesday when I was there for the paint class. Looking forward to seeing the dresser!
So much better in the soft pink.
