Nightstand Redo

I have these nightstands that have been handed down throughout my family. Not because they’re anything special, mind you, just because we’ve all started at various levels of broke and worked our way up. Eventually. Then we handed it down to the next broke sucker. My great grandfather busted them out in his workshop in, I’m sure, half an hour, about 40 years ago.

They’ve traveled with me through two long-term relationships and though I don’t see a need for them anymore, they are rather convenient storage for Isobel’s VCR, puzzles and panties. So, she’s inherited them. Even though the kid’s got more money than me. Meaning I’m the broke sucker. Still.

But, they needed a touch up after the crappy job JDawg and I did repainting them white, five years ago. And they needed to speak of Isobel’s personality. And coordinate with her soon to be fabulous room.

I give you:

After

Looks great, nice paint job! Have you considered changing out the knobs? Always an easy and inexpensive but refreshing change.

nice colour… but i have to admit, i die a little inside when i see wood that’s been painted. i’m of the mindset that wood should look like wood. it’s one of my weird hangups about decorating.
