Thrift Store Queen Anne Headboard Makeover
I fell in love with this Queen Anne headboard when I saw it at our local thrift store. I could see her potential for a pretty makeover.
Here she is before the makeover. Like what happens far too often, I get so excited to dive into the projects that I forget to take a BEFORE picture! You can sort of see her in the background in the picture below waiting patiently in line for her makeover...
Here's a close-up of her shabby chic goodness...
I painted her with Annie Sloan Chalkpaint™ in Provençe. I dry brushed Pure White over the trim details and sanded away some of the paint to reveal the pretty color underneath. After a coat of clear wax, I gave it a coat of dark wax. I just love how the dark wax deepens the color of the Provençe!
You can really see the beautiful sheen of the pure wax in this photo.
I wish I could keep her because she'd look amazing in our Guest Room but unfortunately the room is too small for a double bed.
Those of you who follow my blog have probably noticed I've been doing a lot of projects these days in Provençe. It's become my new favorite color. However, needing to expand my repertoire, my next project will be a different color - I promise!

It can accommodate a Full/Double or Queen size bed frame.
