Remember way back when I wrote this post<\/a> about my daughter\u2019s bedroom? And this one<\/a> on searching for a bedside table? Well, we did things in stages and I am happy to share a sneak peek with you. There\u2019s still a few things to do yet! (Definitely a case of the shoemaker\u2019s daughter.)<\/p>\n

But first, I spent a few hours this weekend spiffing up her dresser. It was her change table\/dresser when she was a baby but is still in great shape.<\/p>\n

\"dresserbefore\"<\/a> <\/p>\n

So what colour to paint? Off white to match her side table? Black because it always looks crisp? Or a fun colour taken from her headboard fabric (below)?  Yes, M agreed that the red would be a good choice.<\/p>\n

\"JELLYBEAN_716\"

I used Beauti-tone\u2019s<\/a>  Cranberry,  part of the Style at Home colour collection.  The paint expert at my local Home Hardware, where Beauti-tone is sold exclusively, suggested I use the Trim and Door paint which gives a finish similar to semi-gloss.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s her artwork and accessories are from Anthropologie, West Elm and Ikea.<\/p>\n

Tips for Painting Pine Furniture Red<\/u>

<\/u>
1) Prime with a Primer\/Sealer like Zinsser BIN as it will seal the knots.<\/p>\n

2) Prime again with a primer specifically made for red paints.  I already had some Ralph Lauren primer on hand so I used that.<\/p>\n

\"DSC01796\"

3) I painted three coats of the Cranberry paint and may do another one still.  After two coats, it was still looking more like a hot pink than red.<\/p>\n

And since you have all been so patient with me, here is a sneak peek at her room so far.  But first, the Before:<\/p>\n

\"DSC04673rv\"

I originally said I was going to keep her bed but it felt really juvenile so I sold it to my daughter\u2019s friend who loves it!<\/p>\n

\"DSC01792rev\"

M loves the headboard that I designed, the West Elm<\/a> bedding (sheets and quilt) and the peace sign pillow by Rock my Soul<\/a> that I won.  On another post and when everything is done,  I will reveal all of the sources.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m linking up here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
