You can read all about that transformation here.
Now fast forward to a couple of weeks ago. I was visiting my local Goodwill again, and there it was. The perfect mate for my once imagined night stand. I decided to go back to my original plan and bought the second table for 9.99 and I'm going to use both in my master bedroom.
Before
After
I love this table! Everything about it!
Here are the two side by side.
I'm really excited about getting the master bedroom put together.
On a side note, here is today picture of my little bud.

Yesterday I had such high hopes, the sun was shining bright and the temperature warmed up a bit. Today it is cold and snowing.
I love comments! Please let me know you stopped by!

i love them. i wish my goodwill had good furniture in it. one thing the white drawer handles stand out alot, maybe paint them gray.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by! I agree on the white knobs, sometimes another set of eyes is all that is needed to see the small stuff.
DeleteWhat great finds. I never find any good furniture at my Goodwill store.
ReplyDeleteI feel very fortunate to have a great Goodwill store near me. I always find something interesting.
DeleteAwesome makeover!! Stopped by from WUW!

ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by Mary! And you are a fabulous host!
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteStopping by from Savvy Southern Style. I thought the first remade nightstand was a beauty, and then when I saw the second one - I forgot all about the first! Call me fickle, I fell in love all over again :) I LOVE the finish you did on the second nightstand. I don't know for a fact that it is the "natural" wood color showing underneath in places (on the second nightstand), but it sure looks like that and I love how that looks. It has the look of expensive (very expensive) Italian "provincial" - you know, the stuff the billionaires pile up in their Mediterranean villas. Either or both of your redone nightstands would go GREAT in my place - alas, not a Mediterranean villa.
Thanks for stopping by, I love Savvy Southern Style! I know exactly how you feel, I loved the first one until I found the second one. That actually is not the natural wood showing through, and I just posted on how I achieved this look. I hope you will check it out and give it a try yourself.
DeleteI love the transformation and definitely looks very expensive. What base color did you use? I'm in the middle of refinishing a chair...it's been sanded, primed and painted. I need to add the dry brush color. I'm a new follower...hope you follow my blog as well.

Thanks Sandra for stopping by, and becoming a follower! The base coat is Earthy Gray by Better Homes and Gardens. My most recent post tells how I achieved that look I hope you check it out. I'm also following you now.
DeleteOh my goodness! $9 are you kidding me? It's in such great shape! You did a wonderful job on the makeover as well:) I would love it if you could share it with us over at the thrift finds and transformations party. This is such a great find, I love it! Here's the link if you are interested and I hope you have a great weekend! http://www.thescottscrib.com/2012/01/lathrifta-strikes-gold-lathriftas-cheap.html
ReplyDeleteYes $9, and it is in really good shape, I couldn't believe it! Thanks for invitation to link to your party! I have now linked up and became a follower. Would love for you to follow me if you haven't already. Thanks for visiting!
DeleteOooh, I love them both. I think my favorite is the second one, though. What technique did you use to paint them??
ReplyDeleteBTW I'm stopping over from the newbie party and I love your blog. I'm your newest member!

DeleteHi, This was a great project! The question is, do you have the how to do anywere? I would love to try a project like this but I have no idea how to start.
ReplyDeleteThank you in advance,
Thanks for stopping by! I posted yesterday the "how to", I hope you check it out and give it a try. Let me know how it turns out.
DeleteGreat finish on both. Thanks for joining Wow.
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting such a great party Kim!
DeleteHi Lorna! I love, love, love the nightstands. Will you be sharing how you did this? Please, please! Yes, I'm begging! Did you sand? Did you prime? Did you polyurethane? Was there a special paint you used? I've only redone furniture that involved stripping the wood. That's why I don't redo furniture anymore! But, I would love to try this. I'm enjoying your website!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you stopped by! I posted yesterday the "how to". Please check it out and don't hesitate to ask any questions. Thanks!
DeleteYes! Thank you, thank you! I think the nightstands look beautiful! You did a great job!
