I had just snagged some legs for free from the local mattress recycling depot (who knew?) and as soon as I saw this sad old thing, I knew exactly where they were going
Sanded the thing down to within an inch of its life and was quite excited when the first drawer looked like this
Great, all I have to do is stain and varnish and list and sell ....wrong!
I know, I'll paint it teal and do a cool design on it and stain those bits
My daughter walked and said 'That looks like the Nike logo'
Here is a close up showing the new sparkly knobs
A pop of red in the drawers
And a view from the side. I will now go and lie down in a dark room.
Enjoyed the project?
