Update

I almost forgot to leave an update about my daughters bed!!!

A few months back i posted about an ugly bed my mom gave to us for my daughter

well i sanded and painted the thing and it looked much better...

here's the post:

Well I've turned this ugly bed frame

Into this beauty!! (still in progress)

I started by painting the whole frame a beautiful turquoise my daughter picked out

and that paint job alone made a huge difference!!

I then painted the 'rings' a metallic gold

and then i hand painted on peacocks and a lotus blossom

the peacocks are blue, green, purple and a bit of gold

( before the lotus blossom)

after

I also added a few swirls to the bottom board

next was the side boards ( hand painted as well)

after it was all put together

I still need to paint the headboard

there is still progress needed to be made in her room ( more pillows, canopy, new sheets etc)

please ignore under the bed..that's the extra mattress

 ( gonna cover it or make something to hide it , no where to store it)

the PVC pipes on the wall are waiting to become a book sling.

i just have to go to town and buy the fabric

she loves her new bed!!

I still need to make some new curtains also.

(these are actually her old flat sheet!!)

I am entering this in the CSI (create...show...inspire) challenge

'furniture makeover'

Wish me luck!!
