We haven’t had a lot of quick and easy projects. We have been focusing on the big things like fixing the walls, painting and refinishing floors so it was nice to have something small to accomplish.
This bed was in the blue room and fit so well in there that we kept it. It’s a heavy, TALL, iron bed. We already had a full-sized box spring and mattress. Plus, this allowed Natalie to upgrade to Morgan’s twin bed without us buying something new.
All I did was wash all the dirt and dust off then scuffed it with some sanding blocks. There were a few spots where it was rough and bumpy so that smoothed it nicely.
Then is was just a matter of spray painting it. The girls got involved in that process. After using the spray paint for a couple of coats, Morgan was impressed with the precision of the graphics we see on the trains. 😂
It took a couple of coats and really looking it over because there are a lot of angles and intersections to that frame. But we finished it up on time to move it up to her room on moving day. I need a step stool to get on it but she just uses the frame. Her feet are tougher than mine.
It never actually looks this neat. 😉
That’s it! I wish more projects were this quick. But they will keep getting easier. I think/hope.
