SPRING BEDSIDE CABINETS - shabby chic antique white




I have another project that I have been thinking about but can't quite nail down all the elements so instead of driving myself nuts I sat down and did some wood work I am more familiar with. I created two adorable small space cabinets.

WHITE AND WOOD NIGHTSTANDS - replacing the tops



I have had these nightstands stashed away for awhile. They were really dirty like they had been in a food fight gone wrong.

ANOTHER WAY TO ADD HEIGHT TO FURNITURE - wood and ivory bedsides


The bedroom is a comforting place we spent each night and having a set of bedside cabinets that are tall enough for the modern bed can be challenging. Here is another way to lift up older nightstand without buying expensive pretty legs.

HOW TO MAKE A MATCHING SET OF NIGHTSTANDS - his & hers



I adore the simple nature of farmhouse decorating. It allows us to combine individual pieces we love, creating together a cohesive result that is warm and desirable and most importantly comfortable to live in. A perfect example is these nightstands that did not match when I first brought them together.

ALTERNATIVE WAYS TO MAKE FURNITURE TALLER - gorgeous carved nightstands





Sometimes you can add legs to 
your furniture to get more height but other times you can't. This time I had to come up with an alternative plan to get these
bedside tables taller.

THE RIGHT CABINET HARDWARE - white nightstands





It is always tricky to pick new hardware for a painted furniture project. You have to consider the style you trying to create. A size that will look good, and a color that will tell the new story.

RECYCLING DINING CHAIR LEGS - shabby chic bedside tables





There are so many unused and unwanted
dining chairs out there. Every thrift store
and charity shop I go to have a selection.
Most people have a chair or two in their
garage. There are some great up-cycle
projects out there already on Pinterest
and I would like to add one more to the
list with the help of Annie Sloan Chalk
Paint.

MAKING FRENCH COUNTRY BEDSIDES - using appliques on furniture










There they were sitting one on top of the other on the side of the street, two little wood boxes covered in banged up black paint. I was heading the opposite direction when I first saw them and had to make a u-turn to get
back to them.

HOW TO MAKE FRENCH BEDSIDE TABLES - wood working tips




Once upon a time someone spent time and money to build this little black cabinet, and they built a matching pair of them. They were built to last but I wanted to add some improvements. A color change for sure, maybe add some interest to the drawers, and lift them up higher with new legs.

OUR FRENCH COUNTRY BEDROOM - bedside cabinets






This has been my bedside cabinet for years and
there is a boy version to match it for the other
side of the bed. It was a short, dark, typical
furniture outlet piece before I gave it a complete
makeover.

OLD HARDWARE FIND IN A SMALL TOWN BASEMENT - white bedside tables






I found these handles in a home in a small Eastern
Canadian town. I was helping out by upgrading
some existing hardware on the main floor of the 
home and had spied these while I was looking 
for a tool in the basement. The cabinet they were
on was old and not being use. The handles were
bent and damaged and some falling apart. When
everything was all said and done I was more
than happy to get these handles in exchange for
the work I had done.

DARK WAXED WOOD TOP - white bedside cabinets





My first experience using wax wasn't on 
furniture but polishing my Sunday dress
shoes. As I got older I learned to wax and
buff cars. As a young adult setting up 
house I learn to wax and polish wood 
furniture. Now most days I wax paint but
for this project I used Annie Sloan Dark
wax a little differently.
