More Black Bed Inspiration

Hey guys! I wanted to update you on our master bedroom makeover.

Well, I’ve done nothing.

That’s the update…

nothing.

I can’t do much else until my husband does a few things. He is going to paint the ceiling, touch up the walls, and take down the ceiling fan before we get the new carpet installed next week.

We were going to install hard wood floors, but we didn’t really have the money right now. Oh well, that’s life.

So while we are waiting, I wanted to share with you a wonderful email I got a few weeks ago.

Hi Traci,
My name is Erin and I emailed you months ago (last summer) asking more about your painted bedroom furniture in your guest house. Well, I finally got my courage up to paint our bedroom furniture and had to share pictures with you (since you was my inspiration ).I have no before pics but the furniture was a dark cherry finish. I am very pleased with the results!
Thank you for sharing all of your wonderful ideas with us! You are a blessing to many!

Here are the amazing pictures she sent me. You will see why I was so amazed!!!!

Does this bed look familiar to you? It’s the exact four poster rice grain bed that I have! Her bed was cherry too, but she wanted a black bed. So she painted it black! Love this girl!

When she sent me this email, she had NO idea that I had the same bed, and that I would be painting it black. How ironic is that?

When I received these pictures, I got sooo excited because it helped me envision what my bed would look like.

And I immediately bumped my master bedroom makeover to the top of our “to do” list! :)

But she didn’t stop at just her bed….she painted the rest of her bedroom set as well!

Didn’t it turn out gorgeous?!!!!

And she used the paint that I suggested at Lowe’s. It’s a very durable Valspar paint that can be found in a quart-sized can over by the spray paint at Lowe’s.

I used a Satin black on my bed.

She also used Rust-oleum "Hammered" spray paint to paint her hardware….

Thank you, Erin from Alabama, for sharing these wonderful pictures with me!!!

Your bedroom looks gorgeous!

I’ve also received some other emails from readers who have been painting their furniture black, and I will share them with you soon as well.

I love my readers!

I love your comments! I love your emails! I love your inspiration!

And I have to give a “shout out” to one of my readers who is probably reading this post on her 10 minute break at work this morning!

Good Morning, Crystal! :) I hope you are having a great day!

And I pray that everyone who reads this post today has a blessed day as well!
