"N" is for Nightstands

Paint: nightstand makeover

Here's the before:

And now:

Here's how I painted the nightstands:

1. Sand and wipe down.

2. Paint three coats Behr Lake Blue:

3. Distress with 120 grit.

4. Stain with Minwax Special Walnut.

For comparison on the left is before stain, on the right is after stain:

5. Seal with clear satin poly.

A fun change to update our bedroom.

Slightly nautical, slightly rustic American, I always love a little red, white and blue.
