For quite some time, Phil and I have been wanting to redo our bedroom furniture. He never super loved the colour to begin with (though he didn't tell me until after it had been purchased) and it was just kind of a weird colour to match other things to. Plus, it had been beat up a little when we had it squeezed into a tiny room at my parents' house, and then moving into our house.
All in all, it was just time for a change.

Then we added a coat or two of flat black paint, followed by a coat or two of black satin paint:
And we sprayed the hardware with an ivory paint:
Here is the finished product:
