What happens here

Start by caulking all seams and nail holes in the bed structure for a smooth, finished look. Once the caulk is dry, sand all surfaces. Apply a coat of primer using a fine-finish paint sprayer, ensuring even coverage. Once the primer is dry, apply two coats of the chosen paint color (e.g., 'Reddened Earth' by Sherwin Williams) using the paint sprayer. For intricate areas like the guard rails, use a small brush for touch-ups. For the trim, apply a contrasting color (e.g., 'Hushed Auburn') using a brush after masking off the main structure. Install the sconce light.

Goal: Prepare, paint, and install lighting for the finished bed.
