so i bought this little nightstand from a thrift store for 20 bucks! yes it was quite a steal, but the paint was horrible. it was very shiny, and everything i set on it stuck to it. so i knew i'd end up repainting it. well finally after a few months, i was sick of it. i've recently fallen inlove with pastel colors i just think they are so refreshing. so i went to lowes and picked out a beautiful light blue color by valspar, the Seaside Retreat collection.
so after sanding the nightstand down for HOURS with first 60 grit and then 120 grit, thank god we had a power sander, it would have been impossible without it. we ended up with this. she was already looking better.
now came the FUN part! i painted and painted. and then i was inlove! she came out looking wonderful!
i cant for the life of me get the actual color to show up on my camera of the nightstand, but its a light blueish green. sort of a cross between this picture and the picture of the paint in the can.
i ♥ the way it turned out though. definitely plan on doing more little projects like this whenever i find something that could use a little spiffing up!
and these are just a few things that i have decorating the top of the nightstand. the cutsie little birdie i bought at the dollar store, for you guessed it 1 dollar!! i just couldn't say no.
