Aqua Jenny Lind Twin Bed: Before and After

                                           Hallelujah!


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! 

The only problem I ran into, was it did not have rails.  So I bought some old metal ones to make it a complete bed!

I know I am a lucky girl, I always find the Treasure!
