Overhauled Vintage Nightstand + Vintage Yardsticks!
I ran across this great, vintage nightstand at an outdoor market and knew immediately what I wanted to do with it. I wanted to give it a lot of red, a touch of distressing, some dark wax and lots of vintage yardsticks!
I custom cut vintage yadsticks to cover the front of each drawer.
I kept the original handles because they were so cool with the metal ends.
I figured the sides needed some attention so I framed up some more vintage yardsticks inside the square pockets.
Some vintage yardsticks with red printing were thrown in to tie in the chalk paint color.
