The Other Nightstand and Stripes

June 11, 2018

After I painted the first nightstand for my room (see it here), I had plans to paint another little stand I already had to use for the other side of the bed.

But every time I went to paint it, I couldn’t bring myself to do it. I have always had plans to use that particular stand for the guest room and I really like it in its current color – so I grabbed another little table I have had for just about ever and gave it a try instead. It was already white and the same general height as my other stand, so why not? This is not to say you can’t have two different color/height night stands (you totally can!), it’s just not the look I’m after.

White.

Vintage Typewriter Stand

October 25, 2017

I’ve been keeping a little secret from you.

About two months ago I bought a new bed.

It’s been…what…two years since I first started talking about finding a new bed for my bedroom? Something like that, anyway. And I finally went ahead and did it. But I’m kind of wondering what the heck I was thinking, because I don’t really think the bed I chose was the right choice. I’m blaming the poor decision making on a broken heart. My head just wasn’t in the right place.

But today isn’t about the bed – we’ll get into that another day – it’s about a nightstand (but you’ll get a tiny sneak peek at the bed in here too).

Because as soon as I put the new bed in the room, I knew I needed new nightstands. I also knew I wanted them to be vintage in look and feel and dark gray or black in color. I had one stand (in the basement – of course!) I could paint, but I needed something to go with it.

Vintage Nightstand Makeover

June 3, 2015

“Flea market finds give a newly decorated place soul.” – designer Emily Henderson

I mentioned a couple of days ago that I want to give our guest room a makeover, and that it will include new furniture (some new furniture anyway). I have two little mismatched tables that I have been saving to repaint and use as nightstands, and I finally got one of them painted. [Read more…]
