I found a quirky little pair of
nightstands at the secondhand
store. I brought them home to
change them from dark wood
to bright white. Keep reading
to see the dramatic makeover.
They had handles that went up and down in the very middle
of each drawer, it looked very odd. The white spots on the
before photo are the holes from the original handles in
the process of being filled with wood filler.

I painted both in a creamy white mix of ASCP. I added little
Queen Anne legs to the fronts and the back legs are made
from simple 2 x 2 lumber. All the legs I use are vintage
reclaimed parts.

The nightstands were edge distressed with a 220 grit sand paper and clear waxed with Annie Sloan.
