"Baby B's" Bed

So, I had been looking for a bed for Bristol for quite some time and I did NOT want to spend a lot of money.   I knew I wanted a toddler bed, because she was going to roll out of a big bed.  So, I started looking on our local facebook sale page!!  Guess what?  I found one for a really good deal!!  It came with a mattress,  but i just turned around and sold it.

I knew I wanted to paint it a super cutsie color.  I had researched chalk paint recipes and painted a few other things before doing anything else. 

I started by sanding it all down the best I could. (That took forever,  because most of it I had to do by hand)
I then stained it a dark walnut color!! 

After I finished staining it, I almost (almost) wanted to leave it stained!!!  I looked

Like I had burned it with the torch!!  I was loving it!!  I think my husband was 

getting annoyed with me!!  In fact I know he was, because I would not

shut up about it!!

(Please do not look at my messy garage)

Doesn't it just look amazing!! It seriously would have looked great like this!!

I put my Vaseline where I wanted it and painted the color of turquoise I had

picked out!!

And, here she is!!!  The finished product!!  Oh, my gosh!!  She is super amazing!!

Long hours, hard work and a stuffy nose, but this is the end result!!

It's perfection!!

After putting it in her room, it looks much better than in that messy garage!! 

Now,  I am making some cute ruffly pillows to go on her bed!!

Some more decorations on the walls and we will be good to go!!

I love the antique look!!!  I just can't get over how well

it turned out!!  (I'm not trying to brag I promise)  After I painted it I covered it with Minwax

Furniture Wax. If you are a Local you can purchase it at Fishlake Lumber, right here

in Beaver, Utah!!  I get all my painting supplies from Lynn Anderson at Fishlake Lumber!!

There is nothing like Hometown Hospitality and Lynn and Angela are number one!

Anyway, back to the wax!!  I chose to put the wax on it, because it will protect it and it doesn't

give it a shiny layer!!  If I would have put polyurethane on it, it would have been shiny and 

taken away from the antique look of it.

 Chalk paint really does work and it is really easy to 

work with!!  

So, for all of you DIY peeps out there here is my Chalk paint recipe that I use!!

There are many different recipes out there that you can use!!  You may need to tweak it a little bit

depending on the paint you use, or maybe the look you want to get. You can find other recipes on my pinterest page or you can just click here for my favorite one. 

Patience are a virtue.......

Please be very patient with me.  I am in the process of re-doing my blog!!  Great things are coming, trust me!!  I have been working very hard on this to make it happen and it is almost here!!  It will be great fun for both you and I!!  Thats if I can get any followers.......so, if you like being crafty or like to repurpose or like re-doing old furniture stay tuned for what's to come!!  And please become a follower of my blog!!  Thank You and have a great day!!
