I am always amazed at how some of you take very comtemporary, ordinary pieces and make them look so fabulous. So, I thought I'd try a little makeover on a regular old bedroom set.
After sanding, I primed with my fave~
I mixed up some leftover oops pink paint and threw in a little bit of white to tone it down.
Using 80 grit sandpaper, I lightly distressed all the edges.
I wiped on a couple coats of poly for protection~
I sanded, primed and sprayed all the ugly gold hardware a basic white and then distressed them as well.
Here we have the before~
Now it's all pink!
Have a great day!

Pink and perfect! This is gorgeous. Love the white hardware against the pink.
You did a fantastic job turning a rather boring set into something spectacular. Love the pink and white. Great job distressing as well. Thanks for the very flattering comment you left on my blog.

I think the white knobs against the pink is so sweet and feminine. Another great job Kim!
Oh Kim, this is a darling set! Love the pink, the hardware and the perfect distressing. I hope this ends up in the home of a sweet little girl!
Beautiful Kim!! I love that shade of pink and the white hardware is perfect with it. Question, do you brush paint or use a sprayer? Your finish always looks like velvet...smooth and soft. Deb
Kim you did a fabulous job! I love the distressed edges with the wood and white showing through! Excellent choice with spraying the knobs too...I hate buying new ones!!
it turned out great! What a fabulous job you did!
So cute! There is going to be one lucky little girl bragging to her friends about her new PINK bedroom set!
Visiting from MMS Linky Party tonight :)
That is so cute and that was "opps" paint in pink? I call it "P" for Perfect

I love the pink and white. So pretty and girly!
Hi Kim, this bedroom set is fantastic. I didn't think I would like the pink with the distressing but it is fabulous.
I love the new blog name. It is much more you.

Love pink! Whew, that before photo would have overwhelmed me if I were the one re-doing the furniture! There were ALOT of drawers!
Well, my theory is that all girls (or girls at heart) need at least one piece of pink furniture in their home.
Visiting from Funky Junk Interiors. Thanks for sharing!

Those are adorable! I love the old school hardware:) Too bad I don't have a girl to share something like this with!
That is awesome! That totally looks like something we would have in our house!
So cute! It turned out perfectly. I love that you painted the hardware white. Gorgeous!
You do take great pictues not to mention the fab job! I love Wipe on Poly, my best friend!
Great job!
This is so pretty! I have to be honest, I first say your aqua dresser and thought, "Oh, nice piece to work with there!" Then I saw this set and couldn't imagine what you could do. I am so amazed, they look wonderful!
I always love how cute furniture looks in pink. Pink and beautiful.
