Jenny Lind Spindle Bed pt. 1

With spring just around the corner, what better time to get going on a new project. I scored this Jenny Lind spindle headboard and foot board off of Craigslist for FREE this fall. At first glance, I saw that it was in rough, but workable shape.  With just the headboard and foot board, I was in need of some side rails.  I thought I had seen hook-in side rails at the local ReStore, so I made my way to see what I could find.  Luckily, I found just what I was looking for…and for a great price.  The metal side rails will look great once I’ve given them a coat of spray paint to match the bed frame.  I’m thinking I’ll paint it all black, just like the previous spindle bed.  Now, you may be asking yourself…another bed frame?  I was fortunate to find the other bed frame I’ve already painted.  That being said, I had every intention of finding a bed frame with the signature rounded corners.  Lo and behold, mission complete.  All that’s left is getting it back into shape and putting my own spin on it.  While I was taking pictures of the bed frame, I noticed that the foot board is a bit loose.  So, per usual, I’ve got my work cut out for me.  That being said, I’ve done it once, I can certainly make it happen again.  And so the next adventure begins…
