I found these mid century nightstands when I went to buy another nightstand off of craigslist. A pair of nightstands is harder to come by, and I always get emails from people looking for a set, so I jumped on these when I saw them.
I sanded then down with 150 and 220 grit sandpaper and then painted 3 coats of this gorgeous navy onto them. I don’t have the name of the paint color since I got the gallon from the Habitat for Humanity store. After the paint had cured, I have each one a coat of Minwax Paste wax. When I painted the legs I made sure to tape off the brass caps with some Frog Tape. I always love brass and navy. Such a great combination!

They turned out beautiful – what a beautiful shade of blue – and that gold detail on the legs look gorgeous!

I love the color of navy that you chose. So calm and serene. I also love the white headboard! 🙂 Our Simply Create Link party is going on right now. I would love to have you link up, as I'm sure my followers would love to see these nightstands too. Hope to see you soon!
