A Bed Fit For a Princess

Last Spring I started the project of refinishing an old bed for Sophia. Well, it's finally finished 10 long months later. 2009 was a very hectic year for us so I'm actually surprised I even got it done at all. My poor child was sleeping on a mattress on the floor....she really *needed* her princess bed finished. Here's the before pictures:

It needed a lot of work.

Four coats of paint, three layers of top coat, and many hours of buffing and sanding later...

And Daddy built new sturdy rails for the princess.
