Before:
 |
| Dear Hubby found a baby crib and full size head board curb-side a few years ago. The baby crib makes up the sides and he added more boards for the seat. |
 |
| I used Zinsser primer so I didn't have to sand the piece. Next time I will tint the primer gray or a darker color as this was hard to cover with black paint. |
 |
| The color was called Black Leather and this is the first coat. |
 |
| You can see that it doesn't cover the white primer very well. |
 |
| The back side. I painted the contoured edges with a smaller paint brush first. |
 |
| Ta da! I purchased the fabric for the pillows at a Hunt and Gather show. I wanted to distress this piece a bit and add red stain or paint to the chipped edges. I tried and failed with a homemade red glaze that I made with craft paint. The color looked dark pink over the black. I'm not defeated...I'm still considering purchasing red stain. What do you think?
