a bed makeover

A few weeks back I picked up this adorable vintage four poster bed. A queen size, complete with rails and everything it was a great find! I just knew it would look perfect in my guest bedroom. It was in great shape so it just needed some paint and primer and it would be fabulous.  






Here it is after some distressing.. the perfect addition to my guest room! Now I just need to work on getting new bedding...

    Turned out gorgeous! With so many options for bedding I wonder how you'll choose. I'm sure that bed will remain a mainstay in your home for many, many years to come! Lovely.

    Mmmm! A white four poster bed! Does it get any better than that? What a wonderful job you did on the distressing! Looks perfectly vintage now. Can hardly wait to see what it looks like dressed with bedding.... :)

    That is one beautiful piece. It looks great with the new paint finish. I love four posters and dream of finding a pair of twin four posters for our basement guest suite. Thanks for sharing.

    This looks so pretty painted white! It would've been far too formal and fusy if it was left wood. Great choice.
