Most of you know I have taken on a big job of painting our bedroom furniture.
I have wanted a new bedroom set for sometime now.
Mr. Doos and I compromised and instead of spending a lot of money on all new furniture that was NOT really a necessity, just a want (we all know how that goes), we bought only a really pretty iron bed.
After my husband saw what I did to the guest room furniture with the chalk paint, he was pretty impressed and confident I could make over our current furniture.
I have only done one piece so far, as this one piece will be the Robin eggs blue (Chalk paint) and the other two pieces will be matching in color, which I will reveal later.

| I plan on changing out all the hardware, which I found these gorgeous knobs at World Market on sale now for $2.99 for a twin pack. |
 |
| How bout a peek at the bed…it is gorgeous! we truly love it. We bought it on line, it is a Wesley Allen. |
 |
| Our room has definitely taken on a different tone and feel. |
 |
| How about this lamp I scored for $19.99 at Bed Bath and Beyond, it was on clearance. It is different, but I like the way it looks overall. |
This is the before piece…WOW What a difference huh?
Thanks for stopping by…I have a couple things going on now.
FIRST my Lisa Leonard giveaway
Then My newbie party
Oh and did I mention Country woman magazine is coming to our home on April 26th? You can read about that here…
I am a little overwhelmed and excited at the same time. Today we picked up a copy of the mag to see how they actually feature kitchens..
WOW it is a pretty impressive and not just a small little snippet. They do a fantastic job, and I hope ours turns out just as nice as the past features in their magazine.
I really have to get cleaning girls, my favorite thing to do…except now I am stress cleaning!
I will be joining the lovely Marty for her

Debbie, this is going to be gorgeous! I love the lamp and that adorable phone. You've got soooooooo much going on, and an't wait to see everything. Peggy
it's gonna be sooooo beautiful Debbie!! I love the Robin's egg blue night stand….what a difference, and it 'looks' like it will go perfectly with the new iron bed. Can't wait to see the whole thing…needing ideas, our room gets a make over this summer, can't wait.
As you can see, I can't type today. I meant to say I can't wait to see everything. LOL. Peggy
OMGoodness, Debbie, I like what you've revealed already!!! I love the color of the furniture. Gorgeous shade of blue!!! What I can see of the bed looks pretty, too. I look forward to the big reveal!!!
Looks great so far, Debbie! Love the new knobs and the color you used on the side table!
Debbie, I didn't know you already have your bed. I know it is beautiful just from what I saw a peek of.
Oh..I can see the room is going to be beautiful. I need to work on my master bedroom next. You are inspiring me. I also have a wrought iron headboard. I'm thinking of painting the walls…SW Rainwashed.
Debbie, this is just beautiful…total transformation of the nightstand! I can't wait to see it all! Beautiful photos, too!
Question? Did you sand and then glaze or vice versa?
Lori
And yes, sneek peak of the bed was fun!
The lamp is a must, it sure makes a statement. Love the Robins Egg blue. What brand is it?
WOW!! It looks fantastic. So you think the chalk paint is worth it? Did you buy the wax and colored wax to go with it? Can you paint other paint on it, if you want to ad a stencil or something to it? I'm curious b/c I've thought about getting some for a bunch of glossy furniture in desperate need of new paint!!!
Congratulations on the Country Woman photo shoot!!!! That's really amazing, but looking at your kitchen, I can see why they asked you. That is so fun!!!
Hey, whatever doesn't get cleaned just stick in the oven; I'm sure they won't take pictures in there. 🙂
Looking good, Debbie! Can't wait to see the big reveal.
Enjoy your evening,
Gail
Debbie, it is gorgeous. The chalk paint made a huge impact. The whole room will be terrific I know. ♥O
You did a really good job on painting the side table, Debbie. I really like it!…Christine
Debbie,
Your bedroom is looking stunning already. I love the iron bed headboard and your nightstand looks fantastic! The roses are so pretty too.
Dee
Your nightstand looks soooo good Debbie! I'm definitely going to have to try that chalk paint, I've been reading about it alot lately but I did hear it from you first!!!
Very romantique:)
Looking good, love the color. Can't wait to see the full reveal. Congratulations on your kitchen photographing…so exciting!
From what I can see, it looks fantastic! The nightstand is so pretty and the hardware is perfect! Love the lamp, too! Can't wait to see the whole thing!
Looking good, can't wait until the big reveal!
Love your nightstand redo. Such a lovely color. Can't wait to see the entire room. I have a Wesley Allen bed in our guest room. I have always loved it-the style is timeless.
It will be nice to see the whole room. Your bed looks beautiful from what I can see. Great job on the nightstand..what a difference for sure! Very pretty!
Debbie, you are just too talented….and where on earth do you find the time to do all of this. I can't wait to see the finished bedroom.
Marianne 🙂
Your nightstand is looking fabulous! I can't wait to see the whole room. I know it's going to be fantastic!
I'm so excited for you that Country Women Magazine is going to photograph your home. I would be cleaning and painting like crazy too.
I love the colour you painted your bedside table – so romantic.
I love it Deb!! The color is beautiful and makes such a big difference! Your new iron bed is beautiful I can't wait to see the whole makeover!! Martina
Looks great, Debbie. You are brave and industrious to take on this project. Love the robin's egg blue color.
~ Sarah
I love your piece in the Robins Egg Blue!! I love the Iron Bed and it's color! I love the hardware and I love World Market! Repurpose is an awesome way to go if you have talents like yours and patience, which we should all have in this economy, more time then Money!! Can't wait to see the finish project! You go Girl!! Stop by and check out my Toddlers 1st birthday party on a budget, it was a blast!!
Deb- GREAT job on the little bedside table. It is perfect and I can/'t wait to see everything done!
I am sooo excited about your kitchen…who knows they may decide to do more than just aa kitchen feature when they see what all you can do! xxoo Diana
wow. i love it! I even love the lamp. May have to make a trip to world market to score some knobs.
Can't wait to see the rest. I am doing the same thing in my room. All I need is a bed frame and I am set. I have all the dressers and nightstands. Just on to the painting phase.
Oh i am loving this Debbie!!!
Your bed looks beautiful too…
what a good idea painting the bedroom suite instead of buying new. I've been thinking of doing this as well!
What a great job you did on the table, Debbie! I love that shade of blue and the knobs are terrific! Can't wait to see the whole room!!
XO,
Jane
Your bedroom makeover is just beautiful. The colors are so soothing and serene. Looks like an upscale bed & breakfast!
Linked up to your Monday Party again. Thanks for having me back!
question: and sorry if you've already answered this somewhere else and I missed it. But, was the table a laminate wood or solid wood? I have a coffee table in a laminate/mdf wood and have debated painting it. I love the chalk paint here!
Beautiful! I LOVE the color! I keep reading about this chalk paint and I'm thinking I need to get some.
Can't wait to see more of your room updates.
Jane
P.S. Congrats on the magazine feature!!! Awesome news.
Jane
Wow! Debbie I am so super impressed! It is all looking so calm and serene and really gorgeous. Can't wait to see the rest! Now a question…where did you buy the Chalk paint? I couldn't find any at Lowes the other day. Thanks!
Vanessa
Oh Debbie, beautiful, they say the importance you place on your bedroom reflects your love life….Just saying I wish I was in that room instead of you!! How bad was that!!! LOL
Carol
Ooooh, Debbie…I am lovin' that night stand! You picked the perfect color. Can't wait to see more!
Nancy
I love that color! I bet the new metal bed is going to be fabulous and the character of the room will be transformed immediately!
Wow!! Fabulous transformation on the bedside table. Room is looking great so far. (can you do a little tutorial on the how-to on the table 🙂
Debbie that turned out really nice. I never would have thought of blue for furniture. It's gorgeous! 🙂
Thanks girls! When I start doing my other furniture I will show you the how to0's..this was a trial on this piece and it turned out great…I was not sure, so I did not take pictures along the way. More to come.
Romantic is just the right word for it. It looks beautiful! Great job!
I LOVE the new color Debbie! The whole room is going to be so pretty.
Pam
Love the transformation. That is such a great color and the knobs look perfect.
The iron bed is beautiful and the combination works like magic. Hugs, Ginger
I do like the way that piece turned out. It's such a great color. I know it will be a lot of work getting it all done. I'm sure it will look fabulous!
Relax and enjoy every second of this very big deal…so excited for you….
Hi Debbie,
Great redo on the nightstand–so much fresher than the previous PB look. More than that, I like your camera style…small vignettes on the angle. CW use that sort of photo style on their pages? I'll have to visit the newsstand to see CW looks like.
Love it so far. Can't wait to see it all! But more importantly, HAPPY BIRTHDAY SIS! Love you! My card should be on time this year!
Love the new look! The iron bed frame and the new nightstand look great together, can't wait to see the rest!
It's going to be gorgeous, Debbie! Loving the tease … the color is fabulous. Romantic, indeed. And, again, congrats on the feature … it's going to be amazing, fo' sho! *Becca*
My goodness, that is beautiful! The robin's egg blue is perfect with the iron bed.
Debbie, the nightstand looks fabulous! Love the new knobs! I cannot wait to see the full reveal! Great lamp!
~ Tracy
Oh it is all looking fabulous. I love the iron bed and the blue nightstand is fabulous. Such a transformation. I can't wait to see it all done. That lamp is fabulous also. Thanks so much for joining TTT. Hugs, Marty
Debbie, that nightstand turned out just gorgeous. I can't wait to see the rest! I am planning our master makeover. Wish I could paint our furniture but it isn't worth the effort. Drawers don't work right, etc…so I am watching Craigslist! Your iron bed is just beautiful, too. Keep us posted!
I can't wait to see more!! It is beautiful! I'm crazy for that lamp, too.
Hi Debbie!
Wow is a very beautiful transformation, love the new color!
Congrats!
Hugs
Charo
That's so beautiful! I think you are getting a better set with your hard work than anything you could buy!
Hello Debbie, I couldn't comment on your wonderful bedroom makeover last week because I was on vacation. I think it looks spectacular. Love your choice of color. I cannot wait to see it all finished.
I look forward to your Debbie-doo reveal…
Caroline
I just love the silver phone!! It is so super cool, for a super cool blogger, it's like the Hot line to the lady with all the infomation! I hope you had a great birthday!! Love your kitchen back splash!!
The nightstand looks amazing, Deb!! I haven't bitten the bullet with this whole painting thing, yet. Gotta get on the wagon- this looks soooo good, girlfriend! Which brand of the chalk paint did you get? I've seen several to order. No priming, whatsoever? Sanding? Wax? Glaze? Tell all…… hugs, Sue
P.S. Happy Belated Birthday ♥♥
Love the night stand and the lamp! The color of Robin's Egg Blue is just gorgeous. I've never received my chalk paint…can you believe it? Soooooo disappointed! I contacted them, however, the email "feels" very impersonal…furthering my disappointment. 🙁 Oh well, what's a girl to do?
Can't wait to see the entire room!
xo
Pat
P.S. Wishing you a very belated but sincere Happy Birthday!!
Really cute night stand. I love these small pieces.
ABso terrific on that piece Deb!!! I love the color and I am loving the new look, can't wait to see more!!!
I love the color! It makes such a difference in the space. And I love the lamp too! What a steal!
