Pam on Dec 30, 2013fantastic! Love this night stand, if you can find two desk the same height you could make a new desk with lots of storage ,just add a top across both.

Sarah Carroll on Feb 14, 2014Thanks for sharing. Saw wooden crates for sale in a store today that brought memories back of how my sister made a night stand from a orange crate with a skirt she made . It was a great night stand. What made it even better it costed $00.00! In the fifties that was very important coming out of the depression, not everyone could have new things! You and your husband have talent in seeing what is not there, You will survive hard times, in fact you have the ability to do it and be happy,

Kitchen Kelli on Feb 15, 2014@Sarah Carroll How sweet of you to say! Thank you. I have big shoes to fill because my Nana actually taught me to make something from nothing as she went through the depression when my mom was a baby. She (by herself) built a desk from what would be considered pallets that my grandad used because he "drove the dray" in their town prior to him becoming Sheriff. We still have that desk. It is made of cedar slats that made up the pallets that the dray drug behind him making his way to town from the train station with goods ordered by the businesses of the town.
