In reply to Angela.

Thanks so much for stopping by and taking the time to leave a comment on my nightstand. I am still using it and loving the look. 🙂

I agree with Allison, I would’ve made the shelf on the bottom (but more because my job would’ve left more to be desired!) and I would probably choose a colored basket or use a lining. But it still looks AMAZING. So great to see it saved.

Gail you rock!!! I recently came across a free nightstand missing a drawer and I brought it home wondering what the heck I’d do with it. Now I am inspired to turn it into a tv stand thanks to you!!!

Hey, Gail. The nightstand turned out great — great save. I agree with Rose that using the flooring on top was a genius move. Not sure what you don’t like about it, but I have 2 main thoughts. First, the top shelf was a good idea, but in reality it kind of just looks like a spot with the drawer missing — maybe more wood or put in a basket(?). The other thing is the distressing. It looks a little too organized. Maybe doing in more random places, heavy wear spots here, light scratches there, partial edges, one corner, etc. Anyway, hope it’s okay I said that. I know when I ask for thoughts I really do want honest thoughts. And basically, we’re like the same person..so..I figured you could take it. On the flipside, I love the detail in the drawer fronts and the pulls will look great either matched or mismatched.

so creative with the flooring!! it turned out spectacular. gotta be honest, it was in bad shape to begin with so i had my doubts that it could be brought back to life!

hi gail! i love it- love the tongue and groove boards you added to the top! as for distressing, i think it looks great. i almost always do my distressing by hand- i have an orbital sander and feel it can sometimes be hard to control and get everywhere you need. i only use it when i want to distress the HECK out of something!
