From Vanity to Nightstand

Hi everyone. Sorry about last week just got busy doing the show. I should be good for another 20 days until I have to get ready again. I'll tell you all about it in a later post this week (saving all the details until then). It is Makeover Monday and I have a good one. You know how you see old vanities around without mirrors, well I love to turn them into nightstands. As long as they have four legs per unit it is easy to do (I once didn't notice a vanity I bought only had three legs per unit, I had to have two made to match. Lets say after that I always make sure.). The middle of these vanities are usually a step down drawer, so find out how it is attached and remove the screws or nails (usually inside the units). Next putty the holes, sand, wipe down (that easy). Then I paint, distress, and wax the tops (I don't think I need the explain all those steps). Waaa Laaa two great old looking nightstands. See for yourself.....

After
Don't they look great, they sold at the show, so I'm happy for the two little girls, who had such a smart, and tasteful mommy who thought they should have them. For more Must see Makeover Monday projects go see Cindy at http://cottageinstincts.blogspot.com.
BTW.... The giveaway is still going on until March 15th at 12:00am (ohhh nooo that's tonight so hurry). The rules are on My Mistake post. After tonight I will announce the winner later this week. Good luck and have your own Makeover Monday.
See everyone next time.......
