I have this weird thing about liking beds to be angled in the corner of a room-it's kind of fun! My daughter's bed has been that way for a while now, but my son had this bulky headboard that was a bookshelf/headboard combo that just didn't work in the corner. Anyway, so I have wanted to get him a new headboard, but hadn't really tried to find one or buy one. But then a friend and I were at the thrift store and came across a head and footboard set for $25. All my friend had to say was "You could spray paint it" and I was at the register buying the thing. Of course I got it home and realized that I needed a different frame than the one I had (poo) so I went back to the thrift store, found what I needed and I was off again!
A picked up a few cans of Rustoleum Navy Blue Spray paint, and some Laquer finish spray paint and I was gettin' high in my basement within the hour-okay not really, i tried to ventilate as best I could.
I love the bed! It turned out great-it's not perfect since spray paint is an art that is always a little trial and error, but it's in a boys bedroom so...it's probably going to get abused anyway!
