Snapoutofit on Oct 16, 2016Painting the bed frame the gray color and the legs, black like you did for the dresser will really bring back to life the boring old worn bed plus make it coordinate so well with your lovely painted dresser. Consider making a padded headboard, which will update the bed, using a print that includes the gray and black colors of the paint. Not sure the room decor. see photosHelpful Reply
