First of all, Happy Birthday, Mom!!! We love you!
I found this little nightstand at my local Goodwill a few weeks ago for $10.
It had ugly brown paint that was worn, and was just very dirty looking. The picture above shows it after I had sanded it, but you get the idea. I wanted to just clean it up and freshen it up, so I went with a warm semigloss white, Sherwin Williams Greek Villa. I first gave it two coats of primer, then 3 coats of paint. I planned on giving it a bright or funky knob, but nothing I tried seemed right. It had originally had a chunky wooden knob. I looked into my stash and tried a more classic approach, and loved the look of the one it currently wears. Here it is now... a very simple makeover, but I am happy with it!

It turned out gorgeous. I love it. What a great find. Hugs, Marty
Darn - nothin this week......
Cute table! Great find!
I SWEAR I bought a nightstand EXACTLY like that last year and it was that same ugly brown. They must have been sister nightstands at one time and one made its way up to CT. LOL!! I painted mine a very pale pink. I think I sold it at the flea market...Can't really remember. Anyway, I love the classic clean lines you gave that piece. The pull is perfect too!
Take care,
Lisa
I love when I find a great looking nightstand. I like it painted white and the knob suits it perfectly.
I hope you accept my link as a "Furniture Make", well, I used the old keyboard shelf and put into the new desk.. that is a make over....lol
You did good with that GW night stand.. very nice!
Happy Birthday Mom... (oh I wish I could say that to mine)......

Great find for $10. Love the color and my favorite hardware! Love those things. Looks like you are staying for busy. Hope all is well!
Great job as usual! That knob (or pull) is perfect!
A perfect little freshening up! It's so cute, Cassie, and I love those original handles!
Happy Birthday to your Mom, Cassie! Moms are so special. Your night stand is just perfect. I like the simplicity of it and it's so nicely freshened up in a clean white!
Is looks so much better! I love that handle!
Looks awesome! I love the handle as well...totally works! I have nothing to contribute this week...all my projects were sewing projects! But, I love browsing furniture re-do's, so I'll be saying hi to the lovely entries tonight! Can't wait!
So pretty in that creamy paint Cassie! Great job!
Cassie, What a improvement. The nightstand looks wonderful with the new paint.

It's so cute, I love the simple makeovers.
Simply sweet! Your table looks great, the hardware was just right. Thanks for hosting today!
Love it! You must have an insane hardware stash. Like, outta control!
What a cute little table/nightstand! And what a steal for only $10! I have a thing for small tables so this one really makes me happy :) Can't wait to see what everyone else has been up to!
It looks outstanding...awesome find! Looks like I will be helping my daughter (the bride) look for pieces like this one.
Blessings,

I miss painting furniture, I don't have a good spot to paint inside the house. Nice little makeover!
Oh, I love it! And that pull is definitely perfect.
And a funny thing . . . when I first read the color, I thought it said GEEK villa! heheheheh . . .
Cassie - I love that night stand - the knob goes perfect with it! I just posted #39 an "upcycled" cradle I made for my daughters birthday. Thanks for hosting, I know there is a cost now - I really love and appreciate the parties!
Excellent find with that table! I love the handle.

I know I say this all of the time, but it never ceases to amaze me what paint can do. Love all of these transformations...so nice that you have these link parties. I have a back log of stuff I need to paint...have no place in the home to paint, so have to wait for better weather! Take care, Danielle
Simple is good. I happen to think it is perfect as is - hardware and all :)

Thanks for hosting! And that looks just like the end table I refinished recently!
Best,

I like it! I like the knob you chose. I love the crisp white against the dark knob.
i like to make you wait for my comments ;-) Your side table is so fresh and so clean clean! I think the knob is a perfect compliment. Love it!
