Pretty Pink Painted Headboard

Here's the little story of this cute headboard that my MIL got me for me.

We had ordered it about 3 months ago, and we THOUGHT we had ordered WHITE... uh...

as you can tell from this picture... against the WHITE wall...

It was NOT white. lol.

More like... that funny Cream-ish color.

Anyway... I was a little hesitant on painting a NEW piece of furniture... PINK... but after my post HERE and Centsational Girl's post HERE only a day or two later... I was totally inspired to get me some PAINTED FURNITURE!

I took some of my Swiss Pink, from Kwal Paint, and mixed in a little semi-gloss white.

It looked SO light going on... but after it dried, it darkened up quite a bit, so I was glad I added that extra white! 

I didn't do ANY sanding!  Just a light coat of primer.  And then rolled on the pink with a non-textured small roller.

And I was TOTALLY thrilled with how flawless it turned out!

Ronda even came and saw it and asked me if I had Sprayed it!  Niiiiice! :)

Here it is, after the Pink paint.

And with Pillows!

I love it!

It just adds a small pop of pink to the room, that I was looking for.

Moral of the story... don't be scared to paint something PINK!

:)

SIDE NOTE:

I've had a TON of people ask me where I get all the girls's bedding.

I get ALL of their bedding & mine (except for this bed skirt, that was from IKEA... and a couple of pillows I've made) from

The Village Quilt Shop.

They don't have online shopping, but they DO ship out!
