We were so lucky to have ‘purchased’ this bedroom set with our first house, but the light oak stain wasn’t something we would have chosen. After cutting my teeth with chalk paint on our guest bedroom set and kitchen cabinets, I had the courage to tackle our primary bedroom.

What resulted is a set you’d pay thousands for (and you pretty much can at Restoration Hardware). The details on how to get this chalk paint driftwood finish are here.
