Are there certain design elements that appeal to you? There are several elements that appeal to me, but one element that seems to grab my attention is a turned spindle. I love the look of turned spindles. Whether it's a floor lamp, bed, desk....I am immediately drawn to it. This is a departure for me because I usually like classic, simple, and straight lines, but every now and then, I like to throw in a little spindley to keep things interesting. So, it was no surprise when I snatched up a head and footboard with turned spindles (at a local antique store) for my son's room. Only $35!
These pics are after we (my husband :)) striped the original paint. I'll be painting this beauty soon, but more to come on that in a later post. So, for the fun...I threw in some more spindley pieces:
I love the image of the staircase! All the different spindle shapes painted white is unexpected and awesome! Wow, stripping the paint off of all those bed spindles must have been a real pain but it'll be so worth it when it is done! I can't wait to see how it turns out! Great post... Thanks!
ReplyDelete$35 get out of here! What a classic timeless look these pieces are. I love the last image. I keep seeing those type chairs at our flea market. LOVE them.
ReplyDeleteI want to shop where you got that bed!! $35 you have got to be kidding. Are you going to stain it or paint it? Love to see the finished project. Love Aunt Suz
