Trash to Treasure Nightstand Makeover
10 July
Remember I was helping my parent's with their rental that was trashed by the renter from hell last weekend?
Well, there was some furniture left behind when he moved out so I snagged some of it! This is one of those pieces, a cute little nightstand!
Ok... maybe it wasn't so cute before its makeover... I cleaned it all up... because... well if you read that post about the rental you'd know why!
It had a little bit of damage but nothing too bad. Here it is after the makeover.
I painted it grey with a free sample of paint I had from Lowe's and sprayed the knobs hot pink!
The pink knobs and pull may be a little jarring in most settings but I've been adding touches of pink to my bedroom so they are perfect! :o)
Then I decided to use some cute contact paper I found at Big Lots to line the drawers.
And for a little unexpected surprise...
I lined the outside of the drawers too!
What do you think?

it turned out really cute! I love the contac paper, especially on the sides! Brilliant!
ReplyDeleteIt looks so cute!! (saw your comment at 320 Sycamore) Thanks for the inspiration. I just did my first repainting of a chair and it was fun. Your table looks so adorable. I love the colors! Great job.
ReplyDeleteHi Tania! It's amazing what paint can do for old furniture! I love the gray color and the contact paper is a really nice touch. Great job!
ReplyDeleteThat turned out great and at least something good came out of those idiot renters.
ReplyDeletelove the stencil inside the drawer! what a great idea!!!! Very pretty makeover Tania!
ReplyDeleteIt's adorable! I love it...:) I am working on my new old credenza I bought a couple weeks ago to hold my TV in the new living room! I chalk painted it white and am going to distress it a bit and I am lining the inside of the doors with some chevron contact paper I have left over from another project. I can't wait to finish it and share it on the blog! Have a great weekend treasure hunting!

Love this idea. Bought a couple pieces I'd like to paint but not sure what kind of paint to use. Any suggestions?
ReplyDeleteHi Krista, thanks for your sweet comment :o) I just used a free sample of Valspar paint from Lowe's. Chalk paint is nice too and there are lots of recipes to make your own online.
