It’s a wonderful month for romance, isn’t it? Yesterday was the anniversary of my first date with Hubby. That was 37 years ago! I KNOW! Craziness. And absolutely wonderful. With trying to keep up the romance in our marriage it’s important that we feel BOTH feel comfortable in our home.
So before I even started a blog, I decided I would be romancing the bedroom furniture.
This bedroom set is my grandparents. I remember seeing in their bedroom when I was growing up.
The furniture was in it’s original condition when I receieved it. I had thought about painting it several times, but didn’t dare “ruin” the look.
But then, as I wanted to add some lighter touch in our small home, I decided to crack open a can of paint and start romancing my bedroom furniture.
The color I chose was Turquoise Mist by Olympic.
I didn’t want to make it look new, but worn as was the style of the furniture. So I gave it a dry bush coat of paint.. So far, so good.
Using an Antique White Flat paint, I painted the drawers with the contrast color.
As you can see, I also recovered the vanity bench. Much better!
I liked the vanity so much, I painted the chest of drawers. It looks beautiful on Hubby’s side of the bed, doesn’t it?
I LOVE the patina of the handles, so I didn’t touch them at all.
I have since painted the whole room.
Above our bed, I have a quote my Hubby said from our first date on. You can find the full story here. I think romancing the bedroom furniture has worked out well for me, don’t you??
