How to Paint a Headboard
Home Interior
I painted my headboard one day and made the bed up the next…
Be sure to enter the giveaway at the end of the post :) This post is sponsored by HomeRight. The love of the sprayer and opinions are all mine. We have a bonus room in the new house. You know the kind…with the short walls. Perfect for the older, shorter headboards. 
The Homeright Finish Max makes any paint job easier. Unlike other sprayers that I’ve used, this one is very easy to clean. The cleaning part was what I dreaded until I tried the HomeRight C800766 Finish Max Fine Finish Sprayer
After the paint dried, I brought the headboard in to distress the edges. 
I finished it with light brown Antique Wax. 
The bonus room will be used for more than sleeping. There will be a t.v. and xbox in there on the opposite end of the sleeping area. I wanted to keep things fun. 
And the greens and blues are my favorite colors. 
Speaking of fun, I remember taking naps at my Grandma’s house, sleeping on top of bedspreads just like this one. Waking up with round dents in my face. 
One bed complete and ready for guest. and a giveaway just for you: a Rafflecopter giveaway I am a HomeRight Brand Ambassador, they provide me with product to review and compensation for my time.

ArchiveOh I NEED this! Love the lines of that headboard, Debbie and the perfect fresh color choice! My grandmother had those exact bedspreads, too -- I'd love to find two to put on the twin beds in my guest room. :) Enjoy your day ~ xo Heidi

Kitchen cupboards are in need of a facelift.. This sprayer would do the job!
I would paint furniture for my guest bedroom - all DIY projects.
Oh my gosh, you have no idea how much I need one of these! I have been lusting after one of these for months. I just hope that if I am not the lucky winner of this giveaway, that Santa will keep in mind that I have been a Very Good Girl this year! ;-)
I have a headboard just like that. Thanks for info on antique glaze
Love the color of the headboard...and I'd love to win this!! Thanks for the chance! :)
I forgot to add....EVERYTHING in my home needs to be painted....and that is no exaggeration!
I could really use this! I eventually will be redoing all the molding in my house. This would help tremendously!
All the projects I make for my booth, Rescued & Restored. It would make my life SO much EASIER!!!
I have some older furniture that sure could use a facelift

Oh that bedspread! Love.
Oh wow this will make life so much easier!
I have upper kitchen cabinets to paint - once my husband builds them - then I would love to paint my dining table and chairs, my living room walls, and a couple of mid-century modern pieces left in the house when I bought it! :) Can't wait!
I have lots of projects with this cool tool!
I would love a paint sprayer. It would make my furniture painting projects go quicker.
I have never used a sprayer - would love to learn how to use one with this sprayer.

Everything needs painting at my house! Thanks!
I love the color you picked for your headboard and it looks fabulous. I have a 70s era big oval dark stained pine table that I have been dying to give a paint makeover to. The HomeRight sprayer would be a great help. Thanks for a great giveaway!
Love, love, love this. I have a headboard and dining chairs just waiting for this. What an awesome giveaway.
What doesn't need painting at my house would make a much shorter list! I have several furniture pieces that could use some updating and this would make the jobs less daunting, for sure!
This old chest my mom gave me a few months ago need painting, this would help a lot to get the job done.
Oh I have wanted one of these for so long! I have 2 Adirondack chairs begging for a makeover!
It turned out so cute... I am pinning!
I need to paint my 277 year old house we just bought in July.
The easier question would be what DOESN'T need painted!
Hoping the Homeright sprayer works with chalk paint!
Cool sprayer! Amazing talent!
My son has an old headboard and footboard that I would LOVE to paint in red and black to match his TaeKwonDo theme we are doing in his room!
looks too easy
Gina, my husband always says that too! My mama taught me that I could do anything that I put my mind to. It is easy to me :)
Thanks,
Debbie
I have a beautiful 1920s china hutch that needs to be painted!
LOVE the color!! And you are right...that IS the way to paint a headboard! :)
