Traditional Cherry Nightstand

IMG_0872
This traditional looking cherry nightstand had served it’s purpose but my customer now needed it to look a little more modern. No more dark, reddish stain. I updated it with a cream, soft white.

Small pine nightstand

IMG_0528

This little nightstand is perfect for rooms that are short on space, like a child’s room or guest bedroom. It would even be perfect as a little extra storage in a bathroom!  My customer needed it to fit in a very tight space in a guest bedroom but the original/dated finish just wasn’t working any more.

Oak 3-Drawer Nightstand

There was nothing structurally wrong with this cute little nightstand from Harrison Furniture. It was just the dated finish that needed to be updated. I did that with a warm soft taupe chalk paint.

Rustic Nightstand

This item has been sold image
I’ll be honest, this very rustic nightstand had some issues with it when I found it. The chalk paint finish on the legs felt, well…..chalky. The sides were starting to split a bit. And the top had some nail pops. In my world, none of those things are necessarily horrible. But there was definitely room for improvement!

MCM Lane End Table/Nightstand

This item has been soldIMG_8485
I was a bit saddened to find that someone had painted this elegant little vintage Mid-Century Modern (MCM) end table. Which, coming from someone who paints everything, is HUGE! Such beautiful walnut (I’m assuming) all covered up with a horrible, cut rate paint job. According to the serial number, this piece dates to 1962. So, with a bit of elbow grease, I was able to strip off all the ivory paint so you could once again see the beautiful grain. Some gray stain modernized the piece and gave it more off an industrial/rustic edge. But you know I can’t leave well enough alone right? So I added a subtle sheen of metallic paint in the form of a stencil around the top edges. A little bit more gray stain on top of the paint and it softened the edges a bit more.
The bottom was painted in a beautiful seafoam blue. It’s soft enough that it could read as a neutral, or use it as a pop of color in your room.  A tiny bit of distressing was added to the edges just to give it a bit more dimension and texture.
What’s even better about this piece you ask? If you position it the wide way, it would make a fantastic night stand. Position it the narrower way and it’s an end table. I can totally see this sitting next to a bed! That bottom shelf is just calling out for a basket to hold all your stuff!

Maple nightstand

This item has been sold MapleNightstandI really wish you could see the pretty color of this solid maple nightstand.  It’s a super soft blueish-green, but the addition of the mocha glaze makes it look a little white in the pics.  I distressed the edges, just lightly, wear you would normally get a little wear n’ tear over the years.  And the whole piece was waxed, to give it a nice soft sheen.  New pulls and knobs brings the style into the new millennium!

Large nightstand / Small dresser

This item has been sold IMG_7310
When I saw this dresser I knew it would make the perfect nightstand. The trend right now is to use small dressers as nightstands, and to mix them with other small tables. To go for the mismatched look. This small dresser would be a perfect fit in a bedroom that’s going for this look!

I chose a really soft, pale grayish blue, and gave it some very light distressing. It was finished off with 2 coats of wax which gives it a soft sheen. Not only is the piece great for a master bedroom, but it would also work as a dresser in a child or baby’s room. Or maybe you want to live on the edge and use it as a sideboard in your dining room. So many possibilities!

Traditional Cherry bedroom set

This item has been sold IMG_3279
The challenge with this bedroom set (dresser & 2 nightstands), was to remove the dated orangey-red stain color and give it a warm brown tone. Nothing too dark, and nothing too light. Toss out the dated brass drop pulls and throw on some new oil rubbed bronze pulls and voila, a modern bedroom set that’ll last for years! I think we hit it out of the ballpark. [Read more…]

Jenny Lind style nightstand

This item has been soldJenny Lind nightstand 05
I’m in love. Why oh why did someone drop this awesome vintage table off at the Goodwill store??? But I’m oh so glad they did. Score another one for me. I think it’s probably meant to be a foyer table, or even an end table, but I think it would make the perfect nightstand.
