Night Stand Refresh

One day as I was deciding what to do with my Saturday afternoon, I took a look at the night stands Mike brought with him from his bachelor pad a few years ago.  We had them tucked away in the guest room while I was deciding what to put in our Master bedroom.  I really wanted something white, but didn't want to spend the money on new furniture.  So I thought, what's the worst that can happen with a little spray paint?  Here's a shot of the night stand before.  It was pretty scuffed up on the top anyway:

If you are starting a refresh like this yourself, you will need the following:

• Spray paint color of choice - I used 2 cans of Valspar Ivory.
• Drill
• Wood filler
• Sander
• Drop cloth
• New drawer knobs (if you are replacing)

First thing I did was remove the hardware.  Then I used some wood filler to fill in the holes, and sanded the top down.  After the wood filler had some time to dry, I sanded that down to a smooth finish.

Now it was time to spray paint.  It took a few coats, but here is a shot half way through.

I went to Hobby Lobby and found some new knobs I liked.  It was 50% off, so I got 2 for a few bucks :)  I had to drill a new hole in the center of each drawer, slid the new hard ware in there you have it!
