Nightstands, End Tables, and Side Tables...Oh My!

It seems like I have been redoing alot of nightstand/end tables recently, so I am going to combine them all into this one post.  Ready, set, go!

The first two were for a friend...remember our friends adopting from the Congo?  (you can find their blog here)  We have been busy collecting furniture and redoing/selling it.  These two pieces were donated and I gave them a little facelift.  I do not have before pictures of these, but just picture plain wood.

It is hard to tell from the pictures, but the drawers are pink ombre (the pink fades in brightness from bottom to top).



I lined the drawers with the same fabric I used in daughter's dresser.


Here is the second table...simple white.





I dragged hubby out one night before he even got to eat supper to pick these two freebies up...he was a little hesitant after our last free nightstand offer.


The one on the left I sold as is to the man who bought the pink ombre one above...the pink for his wife and the beat-up one for him.  The one on the right got a beachy make-over with a super cute knob!






I know it's not everyone's style, but it was fun anyway!  And I have one more...my valentine's present from hubby.  ;)  He runs alot in the morning and apparently he passed this little discarded table by one too many times and finally brought it home for me the day before valentine's day...yes he carried it while finishing his run...true love!!



A little black paint and a homemade stencil later...





And now I am out of little tables!  Which one's your favorite?  Mine...I guess it should be the valentine's one...but I do really love the knob on the blue one...

  3. Great job! I had a feeling some furniture re-do projects would become part of the fund-raising process. =) I'm impressed with the home-made stencil (and with hubby carrying that table home during a run)!

  6. I realllly LOVE that beachy one. It is more my style and I didn't even know it existed as a style! I want to find something just to paint it like that. Love them all. :)
