The paint job was easy too, but there are a lot of layers! Three coats of Basil (green) Milk Paint, one coat of water-base finish, six coats of Antique White (it was extremely thick because of all the pigments, so it was drying too quickly to work with--I had to water it down some, which meant extra coats to cover the green), sanding to antique it, one coat of Ralph Lauren Teastain Glaze, then three more coats of water-base finish.

I love the way it turned out. It gives the bed a "presence" in the room. It looks like it belongs there permanently now. Something about the lack of the headboard made the whole setup seem temporary.

Here are a couple of detail shots so you can see the antiquing and the onlay up close.
