Did you know - Jenny lind, was an opera singer in the 1800s. She was known as the Swedish Nightingale. She was so popular, furniture styles were named in her honor!
I love the intricate turned style post of the Jenny lind line. I particularly love the ones on Land of Nod! The raspberry, the azure and the white. So much so, that the aqua one was pinned to pinterest.
So that is why I was singing Hallelujah when I came across this at the D.I. (thrift store). A twin size never been used, still in the box, Jenny Lind bed.
Even though I had pinned the aqua one to pinterest, I struggled with what color to paint it. So I called my daughter, Erin and asked her to make a decision on the color - she wouldn't!
So I went to my paint closet. I had enough of the aqua paint to complete the bed without making a trip to the store to buy more. I am happy I had the paint because it is Perfect!
I know I am a lucky girl, I always find the Treasure!

What kind of paint did you use for this? And did you have to sand it or use primer?
