Tired Beds Get A New Look
While the cats were away, the mice came out to play...
When the bosses were on vacation, the rest of us decided it was time to paint the old twin bed that had been collecting dust in the studio. We used
Parchment Textured Basecoat, and in about 3 hours, we had a brand new, beautiful bed.
Here's how we did it

First, we scrubbed the frame because the surface must be clean, dry, and grease free.
Remember, Textured Basecoat sticks to almost any surface without stripping, sanding, or priming!! It just has to be clean.

Don't worry--Sally Brown kept an eye on things.

We rolled Parchment Textured Basecoat over the whole bed in two quick, thin coats to get a smoother finish.

 |
|
We "Mushed" the Textured Basecoat into the hard-to-reach crevice areas.
Here, we're showing you that by being a little more liberal with the material and "mushing" it with a big Wooster brush, you can get a more dramatic, textured finish.

Then we had fun with our little electric hand sander and hit all those areas that would normally show wear and tear.

Next it was time for Toner.
Apply Toner to one section of the bed at a time and wipe back with a damp to wet rag to remove more Toner.
Finish with Liberon Neutral Wax.

And Voila!!!

Here's another beautiful bed makeover. (Sent in by one of our customers - Sarah of MA)

This old bed frame cost her pennies, but now it looks like a million bucks!
She wanted a very distressed look. So she rolled and mushed a moderate to heavy amount of Peppercorn Textured Basecoat onto the bed. To distress, she created some extra dents and dings by whacking it with a rock and then really sanded all her edges. Then she finished it with Toner.
