After competing my
Furniture painting test run I decided I was ready to tackle the biggest project: my 6-piece bedroom furniture set that I'd gotten on Craigslist. I liked the set at first because it was the first time I've had completely matching bedroom furniture!
But after getting my yellow curtains, I wanted to have furniture that made those curtains POP! After pricing a few bedroom sets I decided painting was the way to go. I am VERY happy with the results!

I started with the nightstands. I followed the same process as I did when I
painted my table: sanding, priming, and painting over the course of 2 weekends. I tackled this project in the winter so I had a limited number of hours to work before it got dark.
I took the doors off the armoire before getting started. I considered painting over the hardware but decided not to take the easy way out!
As I got started with the dresser I wanted to do something to break up the monotony of all black furniture. I chose a grey for the drawers. I was hoping the grey I chose would turn out more gunmetal than it came out, but all in all I'm glad I chose a second color to add to the set.
I don't have any close up pictures of the mirror, but I taped the edges off using blue painter's tape to make sure I didn't paint on the mirror surface.
