I needed a new night stand because mine was just a tabletop kind. I purchase a pine night stand with two drawers on craigslist but it was not tall enough so I had to add legs. It is the perfect height and size now.

Now back to quilting.

Very clever. The paint & new handles makes it look very modern.

LOL. Anything to help the environment. I love finding great real wood furniture and giving it a face lift. This is the 3rd big piece that I have done.

The picture is a lot darker green than it is in person. Our bedroom is blue and chocolate with small accents of green and this fits in perfectly.

slk350 07-31-2011 10:02 PM

Very nice! :thumbup:

kellen46 08-01-2011 06:58 AM

Look at the pictures....two faces seem to appear. The top one sort of old fashioned with a handle bar mustache, and the bottom one more modern with a big silver smile. Unintended I am sure but a bit amusing too.

linhawk 08-01-2011 07:48 AM

It's smiling

joyce888 08-01-2011 08:02 AM

My kind of project! I took and old square coffee table, cut it down and made a bench with padded seat and floor length skirt.

leiladylei54 08-01-2011 08:45 AM

Very nice. Great job painting :thumbup:

Ramona Byrd 08-01-2011 01:49 PM

How clever that makeover was. It looks like one I had many years ago, given to me by an elderly neighbor. She had a lot of the 1940s wooden green furniture and a green floor lamp and green table lamp.

Olivia's Grammy 08-01-2011 03:08 PM

Love it. Love that shade of green.
