How long does it take to paint 2 little toddler beds?

Roughly 3 months!

Well, if you live in Colorado Springs and it can't decide whether it's spring or winter and the wind blows like crazy.

And of course if you do projects like me. I'm quite the perfectionist when it comes to doing projects. Everything has to be perfect and if it's not...START ALL OVER AGAIN!!!

I was so excited when I bought these beds for the girls and couldn't wait to get started. After a while I just wanted to throw them in the dumpster.

But I didn't, I kept going. I was determined to get these puppies done.

And here's the end result (they were white)...

BLACK BEDS FOR LITTLE GIRLS

They will look girlie when I make their quilts and other bedding (along with another project that, hopefully, will not take another 3 months).

I'll spare you the details of this dreaded project but lets just say I had to start over a few times (I hate sanding).

My poor family had to suffer through all this. I took over the garage as my workshop, sorry Josh and got the family HIGH on many occasions with the never ending spray painting. Wind and spray painting don't go well together. Snow and cold weather and spray painting also don't go well together.

The girls were just sleeping on a queen sized mattress on the floor. Fun for them, they loved it but I've been wanting to get them their own little beds and decorate their room....girlie mixed with my style. So these beds were the start. They love their new beds and are sleeping very well in them.

THANK YOU FAMILY FOR BEING PATIENT WITH ME ESPECIALLY JOSH!!! YOU ARE THE BEST!!
