Dying yet? Sit tight...they are about to get even better.
Shayne sent me this picture as inspiration for the finish and said she wanted the beds "Crusty" looking.
Before I started painting, I took a paint pen by Krylon in gold leaf to go over the pretty details, so that when I distressed the finish, the gold would peak through.
Then I mixed up some DIY chalk paint in a color similar to the inspiration but a bit more blue. I painted 2 coats and then had a lot of fun distressing! I used Jacobean stain to glaze, here is how they ended up. I love my king bed, but if I had room in my guest room for these babies, I'd buy them from Shayne!! Forgive my lack of staging...the hubs was not going to help me haul these inside ;)
These have been a labor of love, but worth every minute. Hope you love them too!

Those are gorgeous!! Beautiful job!
I love these beds. Beautiful.
How exactly can we get this color for our projects at home?
These are amazing! Great job at getting the "crusty" look. I wish I could find some beds like these!
Hi!
Just found you via Pinterest.
I just love those gorgeous curved beds. I would love to find some just like those. I keep finding ones that are tufted, but that doesn't speak to me like these do. Your finish is nice and "crusty," too! I laughed at that, but get it totally!
I hope they went to a great, appreciative home!
I think I just posted my compliments on your Drexel desk. :)
Love them both, so it stands. You do lovely work.
I love the color!!!! what color did you use? and can you tell us the chalk paint recipe?
