night stand for spare bedroom

At about 1pm I was finishing up garage sales a few weeks ago and saw a man carrying
this little night stand to the road. I asked if he was throwing it away and he said "yes take it,
but it has a broken leg!"  I took it gladly and brought it home and went to town on it!

I used a Sander and "liquid sand paper" (ask Lowes/Home Depot where its at)
for the spindles to make it easier.  And the paint was some "oops paint" that I paid $5 for
and I've used it before. 

Here's how it turned out...







Not crazy about the decor for the top of it yet, but I'm going to CANTON soon :)

thanks y'all, if you like what you see please follow my blog :)

refinished pieces to make my dream master bedroom




Okay, this will be my biggest refinish project ever!

Okay remember this bed set that was THOUSANDS of $$$ out of  my single girls price budget?




And remember this bed that I bought for $20??


Well, I'll let the photos speak for them self....




All the paint used was "oops" paint from Lowe's
($5 for the turquoise, and $5 for the brown)

Painted a layer of brown on all pieces, followed by a layer of turquoise on all pieces,
then took a sander to get off some of the turquoise for the 'worn' look.

I painted the top of the dresser then decided I wasn't a huge fan, 
then had to strip off all the paint and use 3 different grains of sand paper to get back 
to the natural wood surface.  

Picked up a mirror at a model home auction for $15


Move in day....
(the night stands were a present from my parents, match the dresser top so well!) 


 Where I put on my make up everyday!

 I plan to mount my TV on the wall.
 I just LOVE my dresser!!!





Thanks y'all!! If you like what you see please follow my blog :)
I'm so happy with my 'custom' bedroom set!!
