I blame SW for this whole project! After coming back from a visit with her, I had the urge to redo, rearrange, and redecorate!  Thus, the kitchen and the guest room have gotten little makeovers.  The guest room has been the biggest focus , as it really is like storage.   It started with rearranging, which really makes a world of difference.  Then I saw this……

I’ve seen it in person and its gorgeous!  The inside is a pretty gold and lit up its quite a stunner.   Now, I can’t afford this and/or replace the fan that is in our guest room… BUT I loved the idea of black/white stripes and gold!  We have my old desk and night stand and once I saw this I had my idea for painting the furniture.   I started with the night stand.

BEFORE

The handles were orginally the same wood color, but in an effort to change them up I spray painted them.  The new plan is black with a white stripe and brassy gold knobs.   And that’s just what happened….

I removed the back and painted on two coats of black flat paint.  I chose to place the stripe in the middle of the drawer a 1/3rd from the top and bottom. Then, I taped it down for my stripe. 

I used a white flat paint.  I prefer the look of flat paint…can you tell!  It dried and I installed two brassy gold round knobs I found at Home Depot.

AFTER

I’m absolutely in love with this piece! It’s currently being used a entertainment center.  The guest room is still in a state of reorganization but with the nightstand and desk being redone I’ve gotten super motivated to make it into a chic office/spare bedroom!  The desk is currently in the painting process too.  Look for it soon!
