DIY Nightstands

Our nightstands have been finished for about a month now...I know, I know I am a big time blogging slacker these days!  They were really quick and easy, and probably could have been mostly finished in a day or two.  We however didn't dedicate that much time and they took about a week.   I actually shouldn't say WE, because Rand did all of the building himself.  Don't worry, I did help... I painted and lacquered.  Oh, and sanded (a little) :)  It was rough...  We had some of left over wood, paint, and lacquer from the headboard, so we didn't quite have to buy everything for this project. Here are a few pictures of the progress:




 

We are unsure of the exact cost for the two of these, but we think it's somewhere around $50.  Not bad huh!  We need to get some fun lamps to put on them. I would love to find some old vintage lamps to redo.
We still have a few projects left, but I finally feel like the room is coming together!  I no longer feel the need to keep the door shut! Next up I will be redoing our dresser.  Yes I said I.  That is going to be MY project.  We already have the hardware purchased, I just need to sand it down and paint it white :)  Wish me luck!

Awesome! I have a link for an amazing lamp redo. I am going to do it too... eventually. Seems pretty easy! http://www.justagirlblog.com/2011/02/anthropologie-lampshade.html You should do it first and tell me how it goes. You two are obviously much more talented than us!
