Painting Project

We were a few months from moving into our home, and Steve and I didn't have a bedframe or mattress yet!  What kind of honeymoon couple could survive that, right?
So Steve surprised me and built a frame for us.  Sara gave us a mattress, and we were set.

Well almost. We were warned that treated lumber was poisonous to breathe, so I primed and painted the frame just last week.  We're 6 months along being poisoned now, I'll tell you the results of that when they start appearing :)

The frame is so heavy and sturdy that I decided to 'antique' it a little.  The results reminded me of a bed in a big farmhouse somewhere.
 Painted white with primer, then with brown and sanded.
 I hand-painted the sign we've always wanted!
All finished
Awe
