Blog 7. Night stands.

I don't know why but I have always wanted an old 2-level side table. My husband knew this and bought me 2! Here is what they looked like:

There were 2 matching tables so I decided they would make great night stands. I deliberated over colors for about 4 months... or longer. Then I got annoyed with myself and used the only neutral can of paint we had. White. 

This was my process:

Step 1: Buy old side tables!

Step 2: Sand them 

Step 3: Paint Paint Paint. 

I let the paint dry for a few days before antiquing... because the garage was too hot to go back in. 

Step 4: Add a stencil on the top layer, in red!

Step 5: Sand the spots I wanted antiqued. 

Easy easy.
