Nightstand.. I LOVE IT!!

My mom gave me an old nightstand to fix up. It had a nice brown stain, but I wanted to use it in my daughters room, so I had other plans for it! I wanted to paint it white, to match her bed, but then I wanted to do something special with the top of it. My inspiration came from the quilt that I made for her when she was born. I wanted the top of the nightstand to be similar with different color blocks/squares.

After starting to sand it, this is what it looked like:


I then painted the whole thing white, and then I decided to paint the inside of the drawer burgundy to give a pop of color, that won't be showing all the time, as well as the drawer knob.




Next, I was ready to do the top. I found different scrapbook papers at the craft store on sale 5 for .95c so the paper was only $2 for all of it. I used ModPodge to glue the paper onto the table, and then to seal it on top of it.





I put a clear satin varnish coat over all of it, but it felt like it was missing something. I wanted something to match and balance out the red knob, so I took some fabric left over from my daughter's quilt, and modpodged it to the inside back of the shelf. I LOVE it!
