Well OK! Not for a few more days... I had been coveting this vintage screen for weeks! Nearly causing auto accidents each time I passed the antique mall....slowing to gaze upon its greatness! Finally last week after being part of a team that brought in over 100% collections! Woot Woot! If you work in any sort of billing you know this is a major accomplishment!
Anywho I got an awesome bonus and decided to spend a little on myself for my upcoming birthday! Love it! When you chose to decorate in bold colors as we have it is a little nerve wracking to bring it all together..
..SLOOOOWLY our home is becoming amazing as we find the perfect pieces to add!
Then my parents gave me this amazing gem! If you are a follower you know I have been looking for the perfect vintage door to turn into a headboard! I have been looking
forever! There are a zillion old fashioned doors but I just could not find the perfect one...that one that said
"ME! PICK ME!"
It is perfect! The original hinge and latches still in place!
Perfect because it is different! I got to work! My original plan was to play it safe! Paint it black then distress the frame. Saturday morning however I was feeling brave! I also got an amazing deal! Clark and Kensington were giving away free quarts of flat enamel paint!
Click here and print a coupon for a free quart of Clark and Kensington paint this Saturday March 17th! at participating Ace Hardware stores!
I chose to be brave! Pinbough green! Once we repaint our bedroom grey it will look amazing!
If it looks a little tedious....trust me it was! There are a lot of squares in this frame! One hundred and one tears shed over paint bleed have taught me a few tricks! Any drywall finishing knife...(or in my case my Wilton frosting spatula;) Can be fit snugly beveled edge out to get those nooks and cranny's saving yards of tape and feelings of frustration!
I love it! The picture does it no justice!
It really is super cool! Stay tuned for future pics on our work in progress bedroom!
