We just moved into a new house and it has a very brown carpet. Brooke's Twin bed that we bought her is black and I had such a hard time finding some bedding that I liked that was girly that went with brown and black. So my solution...new furniture! We moved her twin trundle to our guest room, and then I began the search for a new bed for her. I finally found a solid mahogany twin bed with beautiful lines on Craigslist for $35! I acted fast and picked it up that night. With a little time and paint it is now so perfect. I love it! My mom also gave me a nightstand that was her and my dad's and I did a little magic on it. Here is Brooke's $35 furniture makeover.
Before
After - The old nightstand. It was pretty dinged up and had a veneer on it that was chipped off in some places. I fixed it up a little and spray painted it with a pretty pink color. I also took the doors off of it and just filled the holes and put a basket under instead. Te rug is from PBteen. It is what I designed the room around.The bed. I didn't even sand this guy. I just primed it and painted it with Rustoleum's Heirloom White. I also spray painted the matte in the pic to match the little pops of pink. I still have a long dresser to do in that room. More updates to come once the room is finished.
Wow Natalie, you are amazing!!! You should do that and sell them on craigslist to make money.
