The bed was quite straight forward but those end tables were nothing but trouble!! They actually started off white {one was totally finished and the other was just partly painted} when I decided that I was just not liking them. I think they would have looked nice white if they were not so heavy looking. I really loved these ones
Unfortunately, new side tables were not in the budget so I then decided to go grey. And, of course, I hated that even more {at least I was smart this time and only painted one!}
So, in the end I went over to the dark side and painted them black.
I did some light distressing and added some glass knobs.
I also found this cute little bird on the weekend that goes perfectly with my Good Life Sign. I think I might need to go back and get one more for the other night stand.
And here is the before and after shots for you. We will be adding some paneling to the wall behind the bed sometime in the next week or two {hopefully!}
I hope you all have a great week!
