This is my latest finished piece, heavens knows I have a stack of 'unfinished' pieces sitting neglected in my garage right now...summer is just hard to get anything done! I know, excuses, excuses. So I'm happy to post this queen size frenchy headboard that took me all of two hours to complete! I found it last week at DI, (utah's goodwill). My hubby was with me and asked me in a questioning voice, 'Are you sure want that?' 'Yes', I assured him. .....men, gotta love em!
So this is what he saw, a very brown woody piece that didn't look all that great, maybe he just wasn't excited about hauling it throughout the store while I finished shopping. Thank you Greggy!
I just loved all the decorative woodwork along the top, that's why I knew it was going to be beautiful, I hardly had to do a thing to it!
I painted it my favorite pale pink color, 'barely blush' by Glidden. Just a FYI, Glidden paint is not my first choice in brands. It's goopy and hard to work with. When I run out I'll have Benjamin Moore color match it, then I'll have the best of two worlds.
This piece is available to purchase for $80 if you live in the SLC or Provo area. Just click my email button if you're interested!
Soo cute!! It looks adorable! Two hours to finish? You're a rockstar! That would've taken me forever - I actually passed on buying a headboard similar to yours for that same reason! I can't wait to see what you do with all the unifinished projects - I've got a few of my own! =)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!! I wouldn't have given it a second glance before. Great job :)
ReplyDeleteI love it! I know how it is not getting much done with summer and I have way to much pieces to finish also.
ReplyDeleteWow, it looks great! And only two hours?! Amazing!
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome headboard! I'm sure it will sell fast. Hope your having a wonderful weekend!

ReplyDeleteJulie that is beautiful! I just looove the shape and if I lived closer to you, I'd snatch it up. Isn't it funny how men still question us? Bless their hearts. Very well done! jenT
ReplyDeleteWhat a difference! Love the detailing :)
ReplyDeleteNice! I found a head board like this a while ago...it is still sitting in my shop being neglected. I plan on using some type of fabric/upholstery to spruce it up! As always...I love your stuff!
ReplyDeleteFabulous! I am so so so looking for something/anything to refinish right now and can't see to find a thing---ahhhh I would be soo sooo happy for an amazing piece like this! Silly husbands for not seeing the vision right away!
ReplyDeleteLove it! I see furniture in that shape fairly often and always pass them by, I'll be sure NOT to do this anymore! :)

ReplyDeleteso cute--i love what a little paint and time can do! love all your furniture transformations and glad to have found your blog--seems like we live in the same neck of the woods. i would love it if you would stop by my blog some time and join my linky party starting Wednesdays.
ReplyDeleteNow there's a makeover! It really was kind of homely before, so I can't blame your husband for being a little skeptical. But wow! You made it so pretty!
ReplyDeleteLove it! I have painted a similar looking headboard, I love to see what you did! I really like this style of furniture, so fun!
