First Summer Project

I have a long list of projects for the summer. It usually carries over from one summer to the next; I think I've got items on this list that originated four or five years ago.

This is a bedside table project for Cam's room. I finished it in early June (but am late getting it posted!).

BEFORE:

Materials:
  • Night stand: $10 on Craigslist
  • Paint: free (found leftovers from other home projects)
  • Hardware: re-used original hardware with a fresh coat of hammered nickel spray paint (also on hand from another project)
AFTER:

Cam is very happy with his new table. He stores lots of things in the drawer: marbles, stickers and various little cars. Every night, after we turn out the light, he reaches over in the dark and grabs a car out of the drawer.
