Nightstand Makeover

Blah nightstand before pic.

I have been inspired ya'll! Since we moved into our new house I've become addicted to craigslist and thrift stores to find hidden treasures. It's really fun too.

We recently bought this 1970's nightstand off craigslist for 20.00. I liked the boxy shape of it and the fact that it has 4 working drawers. Oh and the 20 dollar part helped too. But all of our bedroom furniture is dark, chocolate wood or almost black. So, I bought some spray paint and finished this project in a couple of hours.

Ta Da! Here it is finished with the lamp on.

Here it is with the light off. The drawer pulls work for now but I will eventually buy some silver ones to match Matt's nightstand.

All I did was spray grey primer on. Then 2 coats of black spray paint. I spray painted the drawer pulls as well.

If your house needs some sprucing up check out Thrifty Decor Chick, The Nester and Living with Lindsey to name a few.

I have found so many crafts that I want to try! Here's another fun site, Dollar Store Crafts. For Christmas I made my mom apothecary jars almost identical to the ones that Pottery Barn sells for 39.00 and up. Will post about them soon when I remember where I found that idea.

Here's an after/after. I put new drawer pulls on err I mean Matt did.
