I'm hoping to paint my bed frame - it's mexican pine and 2yrs old and I love it, but I'm finding it very dark in the bedroom.

I would love to use a cream coloured annie sloan paint - but they are very expensive! I'm not great at DIY and lost my patience with long-term jobs, so I'm hoping for something that I can just put one or two coats on.

It doesn't have to be a 'distressed' look - but I would like a dull, matt finish (hope that makes sense!).

Could I use some of the more popular paints (dulux or crown) and what type should I buy???

I love this page of JT and am always encouraged by the great upcycling you all do here ;-)
