A One Night Stand

So my poor darling Sid is...at a ripe age...and doesn't even own a nightstand.  I felt so sad looking at my bed and my side having a nightstand with interesting objects sitting on it's top and the drawers filled with wonderful trinkets.  And all poor Sid has got is a little fold out tv tray stand.  How sad.

But this gave me a chance to have an exciting hunt for a nightstand!  I found this beauty on craigslist for $30.  It was not in the best shape.  One, the color wasn't doing it for me.  Both the metal drawer runners were broken.  And it was pretty dusty.  But I loved the detail and thought it was beautiful.

I fixed the metal drawer runners with my fancy flower print hot glue gun.  I should have taken a pictures to show the damage.  Unfortunately I'm not a welder, although I did take metal shop in 8th grade.  Those are the only qualifications you need right?  I probably should have bought some new drawer runners, but the hot glue seemed to work fine and it should hold up.

After that, this job was just a sand, spray paint, and repeat job.

Originally I was going to paint the detailing on the drawers, but I kind of love the all white simplicity and cleanness of it all.

Isn't she a beaut??
