Night Stand

 i picked up a whole bedroom set for $60...it included a night stand, chest of drawers, dresser, headboard, and mattress set...its not the best quality, but for that price i couldn't pass it up...my daughter had been without a set since she moved in with me almost 5 years ago...even though i don't think i will be using the dresser, its so worth it...

here is is before...its just a cheap night stand...but very heavy and sturdy...

here is the finished piece...the weather has been awful in georgia the past few days...i used some old hardware i had just until i can finish the original ones...its too windy to spray paint...this is just white homemade chalk paint...i then distressed and waxed...my favorite way to paint...

i picked up this lamp base at a yard sale for $1...i think the lamp shade was from another lamp...i spray painted it all black...i wrapped some tulle around the top and attached a paparazzi hair clip to the top...(contact me if you are interested in paparazzi...very cute things for $5)

Vintage Vanity

several months ago i picked up this cute little vanity...it got added to the list of other things to complete...its finally finished...

here it is before...missing 2 knobs on top drawers...part of it wasn't even painted...just a vintage rough piece...had to work hard to get the drawers to fit right...

i started stripping the top and drawers because i wanted to stain them...it wasn't in the best shape so i decided to just paint it...wasted some time on this step...

here is the finished piece...i painted it a color called mystique...its a creamy off white...distressed and waxed...added some cute knobs from hobby lobby

before and after...not a huge change...just better...
