Glad you too stick to your guns on opinions. Would love to see how it turns out. Hopefully, better then expected. If it's an epic failure, there's always rattle cans of flat black or in some cases pink LOL. If you are going to do the bed yourself....here's my opinion. LOL

Get some steel wool. Cut it into itty bitty pieces and put it in a jar with vinegar and make yourself some good ol fashion Iron Stain. Would look rustic and patina-like to match up to your faux-tina paint.
