Tarred and Bettered

 Jul 10, 2012

Janet's son was ready for a bit of an upgrade in the bedroom department, as he was still using the crib rail from his convertible crib as a headboard, and he's almost nine.  As my ten-year-old son would say, "Mooo-ooooom!  AWK-ward!"  So she found the perfect full-sized bed on kijiji.com and painted it Black Tar by Benjamin Moore.  Then she realized it was actually a queen.  Woopsie.  But it looked so gosh darned great, they decided to go with it anyway.  I know I wouldn't complain! Getting a bigger mattress is like discovering a magical new world you only wish you had known about sooner.

See more details on her blog House Four, including an mini-photography lesson.  Good stuff.

Wow that looks great! I don't think I'd ever see a bed that style and think it could look so good!

Black Tar is a great name for a paint colour!
That bed looks hard to paint, with all those nooks and crannies; great job!

Great bed--I might do this to mine. And sorry, but I think you should enter those wall sconces into your ugly lamp contest.
