The headboard

Yes...I am still working on this project. Here is a picture of the headboard and one of the reasons that I wanted to redo the finish to black. The brown just doesn't really blend in.

This is right before I started painting it...I had it all sanded down and ready for the first coat of paint.

And finally...after a few days drying in the garage and then putting it all back together here is what we have now. This is perfect...exactly what I had envisioned and blends so much better with the bedspread coloring.
