 Headboard Face Lift

 

                

Cost:
         $0 (I used the left over paint from the coffee table and I had the stain)
         $25.00 ($50.00 for two headboards from walmart)
        
        
Supplies:
         Paint (Sherwin-Williams Harmony; 1 quart French Roast (in eg-shel finish)
         Gel Stain (Brazilian Cherry)
        
         

Tools:
         Brushes  (drop cloths if your messy)
         Sander
        
Action plan:
         Sand then paint and stain the headboard


Still To Do:
         Completed
        

Inspiration:
         I liked the style of this headboard and decided to leave it as is for the guest room but I needed to
         do something to it in order for it to match my bedroom.

Process:
        I started out by sanding the headboard then wiped it down then put two coats of paint on and one coat
        of stain.  It took quite a while for it to dry thoroughly about 4 days. Easy!
