This little French Provincial Nightstand was FREE on Craigslist.
Though when something is listed Free then usually that means it needs
a little more than just paint.
The top of the nightstand is particle board so when I sanded it the top was not smooth
and couldn't just be painted.
So I used some fabric and good ol' Modge Podge and it did the trick!
I painted the body of the nightstand white and the top a dark gray.
I used a tone on tone white fabric with little flowers on it to Modge Podge to the top.
The gray paint underneath was perfect because it allowed the flowers to pop out!
I then sealed the top with Polyacrylic.
No that is not a bad spot on the top (bottom, right hand corner) just my camera that has been dropped more than once...time to think about a new camera!!
Another "camera spot" this time on the top left corner! This spot tends to move around!!
