but other times you can't. This time I had to come up with an alternative plan to get these
bedside tables taller.
These cabinets were only 24" tall, much too short for how
fancy they were. I got one and a half inches from adding a set
of casters. I did this by drilling holes in the very center of the
leg bottoms to install the metal collar the wheels slide

After the wheels were all installed I took the tops
of the cabinets off and found I could built a wood frame
underneath that would add another one and a half inches.

They were sprayed in Annie Sloan Chalk Paint Old White,
before a coat of ASCP clear wax. I detailed them with Minwax
dark wax to show off the carvings. I chose the Minwax
because it is a softer brown than AS dark wax.
