Rose, you seriously amaze me with that Sharpie! I am equally amazed (and jealous) that you find such great stuff at real deals! WOOD? OMG! I love your new nightstand! Thanks for showing us how you revamped it and made it your own! Now, go visit my friend Rose to see what else she’s been up to.

I absolutely love what you did with the table. I need something like that. My glasses end up on the floor a lot also. The first time I ever put up wallpaper it was exactly that design. I think it was early 90s. It takes courage to take the 1st step to remove wallpaper. What a lot of work. The table is really great

Holy moly Rose, that thing is gorgeous! From a technical standpoint I'm blown away that the top looks that amazing! The colors are perfect, and what a great size. I'm just enamoured of this piece!

Oh wow, I just got home from work and read all the comments. Thanks so much to everyone for all the kind words...I'm overwhelmed!
Thank you too, Gail, for having me over today, it was a ball! Your readers are so supportive.
Stefanie; I wish it was that store you linked to, that looks totally awesome! I just checked and mine is a locally owned chain of 11 stores. If you're in the Central New York area you're bound to find one! I've added a link to a news article about the chain. http://www.syracuse.com/news/index.ssf/2009/04/business_is_booming_for_auburn/978/comments-2.html

I recently moved to a new town and looked up Real Deals and found a chain here called Real Deals for Home Decor that is open 2 days a week: http://www.realdeals.net/AA/flash/index.php
Is that the same store you're talking about?

Anita @ GoingALittleCoastal
That was a great redo. Looks like a whole new piece. Love the curved edge to the top now. And that was a great oops color. Good luck with the wall paper removal. We had something similar in ours when we moved here. It was almost the first to go and what a difference it made!
Suzanne@Meridian Road
Wow, Rose! That looks so good! I love the scalloped top you put on it. It's a whole new piece!

That looks super fabulous Rose. Another spectacular job.
You truly are amazing... I would have never thought about making the top like that... I love the scalloped front. Looks so perfect in your bedroom.

Oh Wow!!! You really do make things look so fab!!! I love how this has turned out š You are amazing!
Marianne@Songbird
Wow that is an amazing makeover. I love the glazed top with the painted base. And how could I not fall in love with the little birdies.
Very impressing DIY here. (got to check out that wood attaching gizmo you have, I need something like that).

Oh how I love a woman whose biscuits don't come out of an oven! A gal after my own heart, you are : ) You did a fantastic job on that nightstand... definitely the "Crow's Toes" in my book! Love the color and what a great technique with the Sharpie - brilliant! More similarities... our bedroom still has loud floral wallpaper that needs to come down!
Granny
The nightstand is fantastic. Love the color and the birds on the drawer fronts complete the look. Great reuse of something headed to the landfill.
