I posted about the lamp I found for Lauren's room a few weeks back and it got me thinking about what I could do to her nightstand. There is a matching nightstand that I was going to paint white and use in William's room, but decided the unused one needed to be as bold as the lamp.
What do you think? Bold enough?
I think it's perfect for my packed full of personality preschooler:)
Here was the before. I actually bought the set for $25 off Craigslist 5 years ago and painted them black. I'm thrilled they are being repurposed again.
Unfortunately, I'm not as skilled as Billy is with a can of spray paint.
He lightly sanded everything and was good to go.
We've had good luck with this brand and the best luck when the humidity is low. Sticky air means bubbles.
Ladies and gentlemen, please don't be fooled by Billy's charm and good looks. He isn't always so willing to help when my wheels start spinning. Projects usually involve beers, and not because they are difficult but because he has you-know-who critiquing and questioning him at every step. And a post-project nap? Let's be honest, spray painting doesn't take a lot out of you...but I go along with it because I'll need his expertise again soon.
My favorite part are the glass knobs that I had picked up at Home Goods months ago. They complete the nightstand and dress it up.
Mrs. Mouse got her cookie and glass of milk and Mr. Mouse is praying she stays on task on completes one project at a time!

Found this from Pinterest. GREAT JOB! It looks gorgeous, would never believe you did that with spray paint. And the knobs are a great touch! Cute lamps too :).
ReplyDeleteWhat is the paint color in your little girl's room????
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry but I don't have the color. It is Benjamin Moore but I painted this almost 4.5 years ago and it was a color the paint shop tweaked for me. I had saved the can but somehow it got thrown away.
Deletethanks for the reply :)

Where did you get her bedding? It's so cute!!!
ReplyDeleteThe duvet is from Land of Nod but I believe it is discontinued.
DeleteLove it! The colors are gorgeous and go perfect in the room. What color are the walls? I have paneling in my daughters room at our Cape House and the green paint would match her quilt. So would the dresser! Thanks so much.

I don't know the color any longer. It is Benjamin Moore but I painted it so long ago and the paint shop actually tweaked the color for me. You are the second person that has asked so next time I'm there I'll get a couple samples and try to match. All they did was add a little bit of white to lighten it for me.
DeleteWhere did you get the wall paneling from, or somewhere similar, we are in the process of finishing our basement and would love to add something like this.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
So so cute!!!
