"Pretty in Pink" Bedroom set

Sometimes my plans for furniture change a lot once I get them home.  This set was going to be black.  Now, I can't even picture it.  But, I'm so glad the girly theme came to me.  Since my girls are too old for cutsie stuff, I get to live vicariously through my furniture.  :)

 The four posts on the bed were missing the finials & I didn't really want to buy new ones.  I decided to cut flowers out of some 2" pine I had.  I just traced them on the wood, and used my scroll saw.  Then I used dowel sticks to attach them.  I'm so happy with the final look!

After primer, came the pink, then a white wash over the top.  I lightly sanded the edges and used a coat of glossy polyerathane on top!





 Here's the before.  Wow. Ugly, huh?
