Went to second hand furniture store and came across these nightstands. They were in very good condition and $10 each.
Cleaned them up and mixed my own chalk paint, creating the color I wanted.
To mix: Mix 1/3 cup of Plaster of Paris and 1/3 cup of cool water; stir until completely smooth. Mix that with 1 cup of latex paint and stir thoroughly.
Put a coat of chalk paint on and let dry overnight.
Added some clear wax, a little dark wax, and then more clear wax. Remember to wipe the dark immediately with clean cloth.
Took some dark grey chalk paint and painted drawer pull. It will work till I find one I like to replace it.
