Craigslist 1970s Nightstand Rehab Project

[bunnies]

I want to share this project I've been working on for a while! I found these two night stands from the '70s on my local Atlanta craigslist for $50 each. The seller had already started sanding them - my original goal was to paint them. When I got them home, I decided they were too chunky for my space and they also had some humidity damage - but I loved the doors! I talked my Dad (that was like a 2-week endeavor, lol) to build new cabinet boxes so we could salvage the doors, inside drawers, and hardware. I ordered the feet online. After stripping and sanding the doors, I used 3 coats of primer and 2 coats of paint (Sherwin Williams Snowbound). I also wanted marble remnants for the tops but that was going to be too expensive so my Dad made wood tops for now. I'm really pleased with how it turned out!

They are awesome... Where did you get the quilt in the nightstand that is pictured? I LOVE THAT!

Thanks everyone! Are y'all able to see all the pics? I uploaded 6 and 4 of them are side by sides. I see them all in Safari, but not in Chrome.

Anyways, OG Jo - I got the quilt at TJ Maxx last year. It's the Luxe Habitat brand, however, I can't seem to find much about it online.

I would not have expected to like the afters based on what the pervious nightstand looked like. Well done! And, yay for having awesome, handy Dad.
