French Country Headboard

Today I finished my French Country Headboard.  It is done in a buttercream yellow over an aqua blue and heavily distressed for that farmhouse look.  I began by sanding the piece heavily, filling holes with wood putty, sanding again.  Then primed, painted the blue layer followed by 3 coats of buttercream with sanding in between.  Then I distressed it and finished with a wax.  This lovely lady is for sale, $150. 

Isn't this quilt beautiful?  My talented Mama made it for me :)


You can really see the blue on the posts


I love how distressing brings the lines out in a piece, don't you?
