Night Stand Makeover

Remember back on my June 10 on 10 post, I was painting my nightstands and a wall in my room?  Well here are my nightstands.  I got them for $10 a piece at a thrift store.  They were painted this whatever color, so I didn't have a problem at all painting over them. 

First I broke out the handy dandy sandy.  The nightstands really needed some sanding down.

Then I wiped them down with a rag to get all the sandy dust off.  I also took the knobs off to paint them seperately.

While they were drying I got my high gloss white and my satin black (which is the color I painted on my wall) and started mixing.

I got the high gloss white to paint our kitchen table, but I used it all up on other projects already and my table is still not painted.

Ezra was right by my side in all of this.  He is a little artist guy.

Pretty and fun to mix.

We just added black until we liked the color.

And then we painted away.

Until they were done.

I love how they turned out!
