Am in the process of painting the four poster bed.
WHEW!!
It is taking a long time to paint all of the crooks and crannies on this babe!
But, I have two bed posts down. The color is actually much darker than the photo. It darkens as it dries. These were taken right after I painted. A barn red - Plaster Paint calls it Old Red.
It appears it will take me most of this week to finish it. I can only paint so much each day. But, it's looking good.
Enjoy!
Judy
This is so funny - I quickly scanned your title and thought it said "Slowly Becoming a Red Head" - Wow! I thought! Judy's going red??

Judy, your bedroom is going to be just gorgeous! I love how the choice of red for your bed works with the subtle touches of red on your armoire.

ReplyDeleteRed is a more modern color for that bed and really upgrades it, good choice.What have you decided to do about the missing finial?
ReplyDeleteLooking great! Have a blessed evening dear friend, HUGS!
ReplyDeleteI just said in another post to a friend how much I miss my reds. It's really had to find the right red. I can't wait to see the finished product.
ReplyDeleteNice looking bed? So what prompted the color, Red?
ReplyDeleteOh it's going to look wonderful, Judy. Can hardly wait to see it all finished. Hang in there as it will be beautiful when you finish.

Judy, I think that's why I love to see bits of your home. You love the color RED too. I have it in my kitchen, and red in the kitchen has always been so charming to me. This red color that you used for the bed is not too bright, it's just right. It's going to look very nice when you're finished.
ReplyDeleteHave a peaceful Sunday.
