Before and After: Nightstands
September 21st, 2009
When I moved into my boyfriend’s place, I happily set aside my girly taste so that our apartment wouldn’t look like a princess-inspired bachelor pad. That compromise began to take its toll a year later when I realized my bedside table had become a graveyard for half-read books and my sad little Ikea lamp. This past weekend we decided to make a few changes to our place, beginning with our nightstands.
{before}
{after}
After a couple coats of primer, white glossy spray paint, knobs from Anthropologie and a new lamp (here), our bedroom now has a clean look that’s incredibly relaxing.
I spy Breaking Dawn on your before table! Haha.
I have a similar lamp from Target. I call it the anal bead lamp. Because…well.
I love this post! ‘medieval times’…lol…
You’ve inspired me to redo our bedroom as well, I know where you’re coming from! Fall project
Ooooo, very nice! Your hard work paid off!
Oooh! J’adore! The knobs are trés trés mignon! Great job
Gorgeous! I love what you’ve done with this!
I love the snowflake knob! I actually refurbished an antique nightstand and freestanding mirror in white last summer…a fun but time-consuming project!
I AM obsessed with this. TOO cute!
I recently got a place with my boyfriend and having the same issues with keeping my prettifying instincts under control. My bedside table has become an area where I feel safe to let rip and so currently is cluttered with ‘prettiness’. I’m liking your transformation!
Amazing transformation! You wouldn’t even know it was the same piece of furniture!
lovely!
love the tray; where did you get it?
THIS SHIT IS HIDEOUS-YOU RUINED IT
sooooo fucking TACKY
very nice. I love the way you want everything to be bright. I am the same.
