An Updated Nightstand

While helping a friend of mine update her bedroom we went rummaging through her basement to see if she had anything we could use. I found these two end tables that I loved which were just sitting there collecting dust. However, she didn’t love them and didn’t want to use them even after I said I could pretty them up (they just weren’t her style). Lucky for me she told me to take them - for free! Of course I did and now I am using them as nighstands in my master bedroom.

Here is the dull and damaged before:

And some sanding, priming and purple paint after:

(Please forgive the dirty floor, half-ass styling and unmade bed. I haven’t really set up our room yet and when I went to take the picture I had the pleasant surprise of finding that my dog had peed on our comforter. Gross.)
