Black Mid Century Modern Nightstand Makeovers

When I approach a furniture makeover on mid century style furniture I try to enhance the original design. I previously made over the dresser that came with this set and it was time to update this little pair of nightstands, too.
Before they were dull looking, but they had legs that extended over the sides of the piece. I knew right away those needed to stand out and be stained as well as the wood framing around the drawers.
I began by unscrewing all parts of the nightstand so the legs, shelf, and box was separate and easier to work with. I stripped and sanded the legs and front frame so they were raw and ready for stain, and then used gel stain in a walnut color.
Click over to my blog (link at the end of this post) to see the after photos of these nightstands.
