AfterMy nightstand is complete and I couldn't be happier with how it turned out.
Before
I inherited this nightstand from my husband's grandmother
when she gave us the dresser for the nursery.
My list of supplies included a deglosser, spray primer, spray paint in glossy white, metallic silver spray paint (not pictured), and a rag for applying the deglosser.
Since this piece had a laminate top I chose to use a deglosser instead of sanding it down. This product is great and it really makes the job a lot less messy. Just follow the directions on the back of the bottle.
Once the nightstand was deglossed I started painting.
I used 2 thin, even coats of primer, and then 3 coats of paint.
I went back and forth about changing the hardware or painting the existing hardware. In the end I chose to just paint the existing hardware. The pulls are an odd size and I really just didn't want to fool with puttying the wholes since I liked the existing hardware. I knew that if I later changed my mind it would not be a big deal to fill the holes and repaint the drawers. Since I have a new baby I just needed this project to be as simple as it could be.
