The Story of my 2 NightStand(s)

We moved last fall so my husband could go to grad school
we fit all of the "furniture projects" in the moving truck
my new neighbors (and family) probably thought I was a crazy collector/hoarder/pack rat
I was sort of wondering the same thing

I got to work with my sander and spray paint
Remember the 2 nightstands I found?

I only had to sand the top of them because of the peeling finish

Took off the hardware and sprayed them my favorite ORB (oil rubbed bronze)
Primed it with 

Then used my FAVORITE color AQUA
Finally, glazed her with dark brown glaze to make the details pop
added a couple coats of polycrylic
AND voila:

You wanna see more?
Here's the before again:

and after:
I love chunky legs on exactly TWO things:
Babies
&
Furniture!
