Bespaq bed makeover, aging the paint
I started aging the Bespaq bed by removing some of the Krylon Almond satin paint using a sanding stick. I picked up a package of these at Hobby Lobby.
I went for a little less wear than my inspiration photo.

I dry brushed some brown paint into the grooves and recesses, again using only a little. It added some nice depth.
I cut new foam core board pieces to replace the original mattress.
We're ready for bedding!
The bed looks heavier now than it did in plain almond, don't you think? :D
