We bought this bed on craigslist (we LOVE craigslist) and it was in decent shape, but needed lots of work. It was all off-white, a bit dingy, without any color at all- yuck. So I got out my acrylics and went to town. The foot board has a mural with a castle and city in the forest. The headboard has a vintage princess crown that I downloaded from Graphics Fairy. I printed the crown in black and white and then painted it with watercolors and markers. I decoupaged it onto the headboard. So simple!
I did the details in pinks, greens and yellows. Once everything was painted, I gave the whole thing a good coat of hi-gloss decoupage spray. While the spray was wet, I added fine powder glitter all over the bed. It was difficult to capture the sparkle in the camera, but the entire bed glitters!
Hooray!
Happy Crafting,
