Refinishing Project Before and After

I bought a wooden toddler bed for $10. It was painted white with a purple butterfly and I planned on refinishing it for Jamal. It had been sitting in my garage for a while, but now that Jamal is two I think it's time we transition him to a big boy bed! So our project began with Andre sanding down the entire piece of furniture. I have an inspiration photo for Jamal's room and decided to go with a two toned finish. Although the bed frame in my inspiration photo is black, the hardwood floors are two toned and I absolutely would die to have those floors love them and wanted to incorporate this into Jamal's bedroom pieces. We are doing an African theme for his room and plan on repainting his walls to match my inspiration photo. It took a week but we completed our refinishing project. It was great practice for when I get a hold of my kitchen cabinets! ;)
