These nightstands were headed straight for the trash—but my neighbor’s genius husband gave them a stunning rebirth 🤩🛠 You won’t recognize these once-forgotten pieces now 😳😍 See the result in the article below! 👇
These three nightstands could have gone to the landfill. But my neighbor’s talented husband managed to restore them, transforming them beyond recognition. This story is about the magnificent transformation of old furniture. Projects like this foster creativity and imagination. And help to acquire great interior items.
New (old) nightstands
This story was told by my neighbor when I praised her new dresser. One day she and her husband saw someone deciding to get rid of their old furniture. It was three natural wood bedside tables. I know from my own experience that such products are sometimes much stronger than modern new models. Therefore, I understand the neighbors’ decision to give the furniture a second chance.
To begin with, the neighbor’s husband removed all the drawers and dismantled the old hardware.
Thoroughly cleaned and treated the surface with an emery wheel to remove a layer of old varnish.
The furniture really wasn’t in the best condition. Apparently, the house where it had stood had not taken care of it. Although if you treat it carefully, it would have served the old owners for many more years.
For the new piece we had to use an old board from another piece of furniture. It was attached to the previous surface with glue.
Then the neighbor assembled all the parts of the three nightstands into one common object.
It was time to change the color of the new product. We decided to opt for a delicate lilac tone.
On top of the common board was installed. It was painted in a dark color, as well as the crossbar in front.
Then the neighbor’s husband installed new stylish fittings. And the old bollards were transformed beyond recognition.
A real bargain
How much could such a chest of drawers made of natural wood in a furniture store? And my neighbors he cost inexpensively, as simply found on the road.
The interior was enriched with this magnificent product thanks to the skillful hands of a talented owner. This is such a story of transformation of old cabinets told to me by my neighbor.
