I've been looking for a night stand for our guest room for a LONG time...I've looked everywhere for a piece I could possible repaint and distress...flea markets, consignment shops, Craigslist. And finally a couple of weekends ago I went to the Flowood flea market with my sister-in-law, Mary Allison. I knew she had an eye for finding unique pieces so I felt confident we would find something. And sure enough we did!
After I painted the entire piece orange, I came back and sanded and distressed it. Finally, I put a put a coat of wood-stain and finished it off with a coat of polyurathane! It took a while to dry because it was so humid outside. But it was worth the wait!
For those of you out there that would like more of a step-by-step tutorial on how to distress furniture (in more detail!) you should check out Brittany's (aka Pretty Handy Girl's) Blog. She does a great job photographing/writing step-by-step instructions! Thanks Brittany (btw--found you on Pinterest!)
That's it for now! Happy Sunday!
