Ooh La La: French Bed Transformation

I got this awesome antique French bed a while ago and since I am not handy with upholstery decided to try textile medium to paint the upholstery. I am attaching before and after pictures as it turned out nicely! The upholstery had been mildly stained from years of use, and the paint hid that well. I first painted the bed frame, and then followed the manufacturer’s instructions for painting the fabric. I had a client who loved it so I painted it in the colors she requested which were the colors I wanted to do anyhow! After it was done I was tempted to tell her it didn’t work, just so I could keep it, but I would never do that! But if you ever see another like it, let me know! It is the ultimate in glamorous shabby chic, and is my favorite color- aqua! Please pardon the bad pictures as the befores were taken under my porch, and the afters in my workspace.

    So, how did the process work? How easy was it to paint the fabric? What did it feel like after? It looks great! Does the paint come in many colors?

    Cassie, This turned out fabulous! If I may join Tami, where did you find this fantastic paint? I have only found upholstery paint in limited colors. You did a beautiful job. Those tufted french headboards are a hard find, but if you look on ebay, you will come across another one…. Meranda
