We've been working a lot on re decorating Zane's room from nursery to toddler room. So far I've sold all the old nursery furniture and used that budget to buy the new items we wanted for the room. I was excited to partner with EJs Auction & Consignment on this project. I attended one of their Saturday auctions bid & won this bed for Zane's room.

I'd been searching Craiglist for something similar so I knew exactly how much I was willing to bid on this bed. I paid $50 for the bed. Here's what the bed looked like before. Not quite our style, but we planned on fixing that.

My husband spent a few days sanding through all the varnish so that we could paint it. I originally was going to do a wood stain but after some trial I didn't end up liking the shade. I also have a few different wood tones in his room already so we decided to paint it.

I love the look of chalk paint, so I decided to use that. I used General Finishes Milk Paint in Driftwood. I love how it turned out with the chalk paint.

Here's the beautiful after. The grey is a nice compliment I think to his room that is full of reds, creams and whites.

Come back tomorrow to see the full room reveal! I can't wait to show you how this space came together!

Thank you to EJs Auction & Consignment for partnering with me on this room makeover.
