How to decorate around an oak wood waterbed frame and headboard
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to decorate/renovate an early 1980's Wooden Waterbed Frame with Headboard that has shelves and a mirror? The bed itself is comfortable, and the frame is very sturdy, but the oak wood and headboard with mirror are not very good looking. I would like to avoid buying a brand new frame and headboard.

Primer and paint.
Sawzall.
Home depot sells a product called furniture transitions. We just used it to refinish an oak chest to espresso. They offer loads of colors. Total cost for all supplies was I think around $80. The kit itself was about half that cost.
You may find cheaper alternatives but this kit provides everything (minus a few odds and ends but it has a checklist so you only make ONE trip to the store).
I am thrilled with the results. Dh and I sat through a free how-to class at home depot which was well worth the time.
