I purchased this wooden bed frame off of Facebook Marketplace in 2014 with every intention of painting it for my sons’ bedroom. Well, life got in the way and that DIY project never happened!

    Clear the Space

    Move the bed frame to a well-ventilated area, preferably outside or in a garage. If moving the bed frame is not possible, ensure good ventilation by opening windows and using fans. Because I tackled this DIY paint project during the winter months, I set up the bed frame in our unfinished basement.

    Protect the Surroundings

    Disassemble the Bed Frame

    Take off the mattress and any bedding to expose the bed frame. Use a screwdriver to carefully disassemble the bed frame if possible. This will make painting easier and ensure an even coat. I don’t always follow my own rules so I painted the bed frame as it was assembled so I could paint both sides of the headboard and footboard more quickly.

    Stir the Paint

    Open your leftover white paint and stir it well to ensure even consistency. I like to shake the can a bit before opening too.

    Apply the First Coat

    Using a paintbrush or foam roller, apply the first coat of paint in long, even strokes. Be mindful of drips and brush marks. Start with the larger areas of the bed frame and work your way to the smaller details. Be sure to apply the paint in thin, even coats to avoid drips and uneven coverage.

    Lightly Sand Between Coats

    For a smooth finish, lightly sand the bed frame with 220-grit sandpaper between coats. Wipe away the dust with a clean cloth.

    Apply Additional Coats of Paint

    Apply a second coat of paint, and if necessary, a third coat, ensuring each co…
