Looking forward to sharing more about it soon! □Ī few of my blog friends also have some Before & Afters to share today… off to check them out now!įor more detail about the paint (and step by step instructions), you can check out Maison Blanche’s You Tube Channel. And wouldn’t you know it, I have the perfect piece in the garage just waiting for a makeover. I’ve always known we needed new night stands, but I hadn’t found anything I liked. This night stand is perfect in size.Īnd it looks lovely with my DIY painted curtains! ![]() Our previous night stands were too small, and they made the windows look really tall since the night stands were the same width as the window. It’s made a home on Anthony’s side of the bed, and I’m so happy to have something bigger in the space. This guy is heavy… but adding felt discs to the bottom of the dresser made it easy to slide over our hardwood floors (no damage done!), and into our master bedroom. Anthony was in a field somewhere, and I wanted to get it in place right then. With that, the dresser was finished, and I assumed the task of bringing it into the house myself. Plus, if I get tired of it, I can easily switch it out for something new. I really like it, and I think the brass fits perfectly with the new color. I decided to keep and re-use the original hardware. The wax does darken the color a little bit, and it’s something I always anticipate, but I honestly love, love, love this color. With the distressing finished, I wiped it down with a damp cloth, then used the clear wax to finish and seal the dresser… Once the paint was dry, I used a piece of sandpaper to lightly distress the drawers, dresser frame, and sides… It ended up taking two coats, which I was thrilled with. Once that was done, I started painting the drawers and frame of the dresser in Mushroom by Maison Blanche. Then, I stained the top with Provincial by Minwax. I started by sanding the top free from the existing stain and poly… The transformation was actually really simple. Those are all things I look for in a piece of furniture! Sold! Plus, it was in great condition, didn’t smell funny, and was sturdy with great lines. So, when I found this little night stand at an estate sale for $15, I was all over it. And two, we had a little mishap in our master bathroom (I’ll share more soon), which has led me to focus a bit more time to that direction of the house. It’s definitely not the prettiest room in the house, that is a fact. Instead, I always catch myself looking around at all the things laying around. But, times, they are a changing, and I have big plans for our bedroom.įor one, it would be nice to actually feel relaxed in there. If I don’t know where to put something, it usually ends up in our bedroom. It’s always been the room that “collects” things. I’m slowly working on our master bedroom. See how the power of paint and a little bit of hard work transformed this beautiful night stand! Before I gave this bedroom night stand a makeover, it was dark, dated and a little depressed. ![]()
