Refinished Nightstand

Christopher has this old nightstand on his side of the bed.
Ignore all of his mess!
I decided to paint it..... white of course! To change things up, I glazed it... using wood stain! Guess what.... glazing is fun!
I was going to distress the legs, but I loved how it looked after glazing, I wanted to leave it alone. I sanded down the top to get rid of all of the water stains (which you cant really see in the pictures but trust me there were water stains) and then I stained it with a dark walnut wood stain.
I love how it turned out!
I love it so much I almost want to switch night stands!
Here is the before:
and the lovely after:
Happy Friday everyone!

    Wow! That looks great! I'm hoping to go thrift shopping today and find a bedside table I can redo for my daughter's room. Great job!

    Oh how pretty! I love that you didn't paint the top. It's such a nice contrast to the white below it. Love it.

    I love how you leave part of the wood grain showing when you paint furniture. Really gives it a different look. :-) Thanks for linking up!
