Dh and I found a bed on Craigslist this weekend and got it for $175 ( you may remember I was workshopping the idea of building my own, and for this price I figured it was worth it for a pre-made).
It is black, which is the same color we are painting our nightstands and dresser. We want to get it set up right away because its a better bed than we have now, BUT we really think we want to paint it to match the nightstand/dresser.
The black on the bed is a different shade than what we're using for the other furniture, scuffed, and doesn't have that "hand-painted" look, because its been professionally painted (obvs).
Would you set it up to have the super-cool new bed right away, or wait and paint it?
And if it helps your decision, based on the size and our schedules, it may be 6 weeks before we have this baby painted and ready.

I agree! And if you DO notice a dif, you could always just touch up the scuffed spots while it's still intact and set up.
