Nightstand Makeover With Basket Drawer

Last Summer

 

when I came upon this curbside find

 

I knew it had great potential.

 

 

 

I liked its boxy shape.

 

I didn't mind that the drawer was chipped

 

because I knew I could either repair it

 

or replace the drawer with a basket.

 

 

 

The hardware had to go,

 

so I filled the unused holes

 

and drilled new ones for the black cup pull.

 

 

 

 

 

 

After sanding, I spray painted

 

underneath the nightstand, on the back,

 

and inside the drawers.

 

That way I made sure everything was fresh

 

and ready for a new home.

 

 

 

 

Then it gets a coat of semi-gloss black.

 

 

 

 

 I used my double loaded paintbrush

 

with 2 reds and coated over the black.

 

 

 

 

This nightstand is going to be a coordinating piece

 

to go with the Blue Boys Dresser

 

so it is getting a blue stripe.

 

 

 

 

I am using all of the colors

 

that will be in Dane's bedroom.

 

 

 

 

 

 

And I'm giving options

 

for using the basket or the green drawer.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Isn't it fun to see what paint can do

 

for an old piece of furniture!

 

I never get tired of these fun transformations.

 

Thanks for joining me!
