Redo: Bedside Table

So this past week I discovered painting furniture.

I thought I would experiment with M's old bedside table. It's a little Walmart special from his days as a child and it served as the perfect subject for my experiment.



So down to the basement it came and after picking my my new orbital sander and some supplies I got to work.



But, I decided that it was better to work amidst the snow in the driveway instead of the basement. So I dragged it outdoors and sanded her down.





And then I primed it with a primer spray paint. Next time I'll use paint can primer I think. There were a number of drips with the spray paint and I had to work to sand those out once that coat dried.

Two coats of 'cloud white' paint and a new piece of hardware and we have this.

A before and after: check that business out!







Stay tuned because this isn't the last furniture re-do for me. In fact this is my next piece.



I'll be back with more!
