These black and white nightstands turned out so cute!I went to the thrift store looking for nightstands. I had a couple of projects in mind, but when I found these big matching nightstands, I decided to refinish them as a set instead!They were kinda beat up but they are solid wood and all the drawers worked fine after I tightened the screws. The top drawer was lined with black velvet. I loved these drawer pulls and fortunately they were all there and looked good so I got to use the original hardware! I got them all sanded. Because I was painting them and not re-staining them, I roughed up the surface pretty good rather than stripping it.I painted the face and the center of the drawers white.I then taped over the white area so I could paint the sides, tops, and edges blackI also taped around the center if the drawers so I could paint the edges black.I painted the sides, tops and backs black.I put the drawers in and I didn’t love it. The front and sides didnt really tie together.I taped off the bottom and painted it black to make the sides and front more cohesive.I liked it much better with the solid black base going all around.I took the handles back off and painted the insides and sides of the drawers. I left the bottoms plain so the drawers would still slide smoothly.I used painters tape but I struggled to get the sharp lines i was hoping for which was disappointing. I love how they turned out! The black and white contrast is fun yet still classy and these will look great in someone’s bedroom!
