We recently purchased a nice, solid wood bedroom set off of craigslist complete with a full size bed (headboard, footboard and rails), tall 5 drawer dresser, short 6 drawer dresser with mirror and nightstand for a mere $425. Although the finish and color of the wood wasn't terrible it needed a little work so I decided to paint it.
Here are a couple before shots of some of the pieces and hardware.
And here are the pictures of the final product! I kept the original hardware and spray painted it with a brushed nickle finish. Otherwise, I sanded the pieces, primed, and painted with 2 coats of oil based paint. In between coats, I lightly sanded to get rid of any rough spots or tiny air bubbles but over all I am very pleased.
The white pieces are in Amelia's room and in the future we will buy her a bed to match (or I will just paint another piece).
And these grey pieces are all in Grant's room. He had an existing night stand that I also painted to match the rest of his pieces. 
Sorry about the lighting in some of the pictures! :)
