Pair of Half Moon Nightstands Got Second Chance

I was looking for a pair of nightstands, with at least 2 drawers for an extra storage, and I found these... painted in black and gold.. super ugly(sorry for using "U" word, I meant super sad).. but I knew they have potential.. I could make them pretty again, they just need little paint & fresh idea..

.





I started from the paper... I found on etsy this great craft paper in sheets 13x18 what I decided to use on the outside of the drawers. Simply I decoupaged on these 3 drawers ( i was lucky, I just needed one sheet per nightstand)





Paint: I mixed three colors of Old Town Chalk Finish Paint to match the colors of the paper.. Drawers were painted in mix of WASABI & French Blue what give that greenish color.





The rest is painted in French Blue ( Old Town Chalk Finish Paint), then around the edges I painted with light blue ( mix of French Blue and Pure white). Then I waxed with Annie SLoan Clear Wax and painted again with French blue.





For the top I used my fav. french stencil, painted with the same matching light blue.
After that I distressed whole piece, mainly on the edges, to bring this light blue I painted between the coats.





I give an hour to paint and wax set between the coats and waxed whole piece one more time.











Legs painted ombre :)





In december while I was posting progress of this project on my facebook page, I was contacted by a woman who asked when I will finish them because she would love to buy both for her daughter:)





They got their second chance
