Refinished nightstands

Painted (MISTAKE!)




Finished -stained new hardware


I inherited my dear Aunt Theresa's bedroom set about 10 years ago. 2 nightstands, 2 dressers, headboard and vanity from the 1950's. They have seen storage units, 3 or 4 moves and were desperately in need of a facelift. So here they are BEFORE and AFTER. I made the MISTAKE of painting one and HATED it. So I had to strip it down back to the original wood and finally re-stain it. Purchased new hardware and a protective glass top to protect the beautiful wood.
