I am a group member of several local "sell your stuff" Facebook groups and the other day I came across a nightstand I just had to have. The gal was selling it for only $10 and that is a deal I just can't pass up.
So then that got me thinking...the nightstand was dirty, like gunk splattered all over it (yuk!) and needed a really good cleaning. And maybe a paint job. But what color?
Then my brain started going into overdrive...silly brain!
What if I did this?
Is that crazy? I think not!
My plan is to remove that top drawer altogether and making the inside more sturdy to use as a shelf. In kid's bedrooms the furniture should not only be pretty (because...pretty) but it should be functional and withstand wear and tear that a toddler/preschooler/youngster dishes out.
So then I started thinking some more. Uh oh. And then I ordered fabric to go with this nightstand, which then turned into creating a design board for Sarah's room (who will soon be 2 years old - boo hoo).
See what I did there with the nightstand? My plan is to paint it either a bright green or magenta with the shelf space (where the missing drawer was) painted a metallic gold. This design board gives me all sorts of good feelings, like a quart of Ludafisk.
Keep checking back to see the progress of Sarah's room.
