How To Bring Your Outdated Nightstands Into the 21st Century
These matching nightstands had potential, but were in desperate need of an update. Megan from Lubbly Jubbly Furniture gave them just what they needed with a new paint coat in the color, Fancy Frock, and some modern hardware!
Hey everyone!
Hope everyone is safe and well during this time. I wanted to share a blog post with you on how I refinished this pair of nightstands.
First I cleaned both tables with a vinegar solution, scuff sanded them, then wiped them down again. I then removed the trim that was in between the drawers as I felt it made them look outdated.
I filled all the holes where the previous hardware was because I knew I wanted to change up the handles. I applied two coats of white primer to both tables and then let dry for 4 hours.
Once the paint was completely dry I sealed them with Country Chic Paint’s Tough Coat because I knew they would be used a lot and I wanted to give them extra durability.
I put the tables on their backs so I could work on the bottoms to attach the legs. I created a block platform in each corner so that the legs were able to attach to something flat. Each leg comes with a metal plate that you can attach to the wood blocks.
After adding the new hardware my new tables were finished!
Thank you everyone for reading!
