Waterbed Refinish

Check out our refinished waterbed for our son's new Pottery Barn knockoff sports room.  The waterbed was actually mine from back in the 80's.  It was the old dark brown with the mirror in the middle with red flowers painted on it. 

First, we mixed the paint at Lowe's to match the blue we were looking for. After painting it, we painted the mirror red and attached the white wood letters in his name.  Last, we put new hardware on the drawers to complete the new look.

Our son has severe allergies so we thought that a waterbed might help with that since he wouldn't have a mattress to trap dust mites, etc.  So, we ordered a new heater, liner and waterbed mattress from Ebay.  When I change sheets, I wipe the mattress down with a damp cloth.  He seems to be doing better with his allergies so far.

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

We still need to hang his sports pics on the wall above his bed.



I did break down and buy the rug, quilt, shams, and pillow from Pottery Barn Kids.

    1. Creative restyling, love it. I had a similar set and I saved the topper from the dresser for my craft room. It's above my desk now in all its massive glory. I'll post it in my craft room tour, if I EVER get it finished ;o)

  5. This makes me miss my water bed... it was soooo comfortable! I never thought about the allergy benefits before. That's great that it seems to be helping! I love the make-over, it looks great!

  7. I remember my parents had a water bed back in the day and I'd give anything to sit on one again to remember what it was like. I hope the allergies continue to be better! Thanks for linking up to the Repurpose-Remodel-Reveal Transformation party!
