Remember this 70's style headboard I picked up from an estate sale a while back? Well I finally finished it! I knew I wanted to paint it a light gray, so I went with a sample size (yes you read that right!) of Behr's Light French Gray, which was the perfect color! It's a light gray but has hints of blue hues. First, I added some 6 inch table legs to give the headboard some height. Next I sandpapered the headboard which afterwards I put the first coat of the paint. After the second coat dried, I took some fine steel wool and went over the whole headboard. The steel wool added a darker gray tone but did not distress it as much as I wanted, so I used some sandpaper. The great thing about distressing, is the less perfect it is the better! So after all that, below is the finished results:
Hope you like it! And can't wait to show everyone the finished bedroom.
xox,
Katie
