This hot pink nightstand makeover shows you how to go from drab to fab!
A few months ago my brother-in-law gave me some furniture: two nightstands and a desk. I'd been looking for a nightstand/side table for A's room for some time, so I decided to dress this one up a bit. I also wanted to bring a pop of color into her room.
Here's the tutorial I used to paint the furniture. I followed it pretty closely.
Some of my pictures from the process:
The before picture.
I removed all of the hardware. Super easy.
Sanding with my new handy dandy sander. I love this thing! (A bit of beginner's learning curve left some circles on top, but you can't see them now, thankfully!)
Priming. I used two coats of primer.
This stuff works great!! Zinsser Cover Stain Primer.
All primed and ready to paint! I filled the holes on the drawer with wood filler.
I'm so pleased with the finished product!
I used the paint color Grand Hotel Geranium Pink by Valspar (Lowe's). I love the name and the color!
The drawer pull is from Hobby Lobby. And I just happened to have this basket, and it fits perfectly. The basket used to be a drawer in our old house before we renovated. The previous owner ripped out the kitchen drawers and replaced them with baskets. It's a cute idea, but it didn't work! I'd been holding on to them, waiting for the right place to put them. And voila! I think it looks so cute in her nightstand, and it keeps her books in one place.
