I have some gorgeous nightstands to share today! Back to the subject at hand! I have been sharing pictures and updates during the process of painting this set. Be sure to follow me on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter for more regular posts on what I am currently working on. Before, they were just a bit bland and in need of some paint and of course new hardware. I’m all about switching out the hardware to really finish off the look of a piece.
I love crisp white knobs on a piece for some nice contrast, but for these nightstands I wanted to do something different. I chose some emerald and silver knobs from D. Lawless and then decided to use black paint to help the knobs stand out and give a sophisticated look. They have a great selection of hardware, including antique style glass hardware, so if you need some new hardware for a piece, check out their site!
I sanded, filled the old hardware holes and cleaned the nightstands, then painted them with 3 coats of General Finishes Lamp Black Milk Paint. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I love the consistency of their milk paint and the finish it leaves. So amazing! After the paint had dried and cured it was sealed with Maison Blanche clear wax and the emerald knobs were added. I really love them on the nightstands. I think I need to use colorful knobs more often 🙂
Disclosure: D. Lawless and General Finishes sent me their products free of charge, but all opinions are honest and my own!
Great job Reeves! It was great working with you. I already shared this everywhere and used the photos on our website!
Love the black for these tables and don't get me started on those gorgeous knobs! Found your night tables over at the Twirl & Take A Bow Party.

SO happy to work with you too! I really love all the knobs.
Well I'm happy you are here! The knobs make the piece!
Was hard to believe those were the same night stands after you painted them. Incredible job and the knobs are gorgeous. I usually get my knobs at Hobby Lobby 1/2 off and it's quick. I'll look into that website tho, never know what might find. Thanks for info. I haven't tried milk paint of any brand yet. I like the softer look of the night stands. Happy weekend
I just used Lamp Black today and I love it too! Your tables are stunning and I love the emerald knobs!
I absolutely love the emerald knobs on the black. They pop! I've already pulled up the site where you got the knobs, too–can't wait to see what they have!
Thank you for linking up at Twirl & Take a Bow! Hope to see you again this week.

These are fabulou painted black and the emerald knobs are such a perfect finishing touch. Love them. Don't forget you can still link up to my Inspire Me Tuesday party at http://www.astrollthrulife.net. Hugs, Marty
These look so different from the original brown ones, I wouldn't have recognized them.
Thanks Kennesha! Absolutely enjoying the sun we keep getting every few days!
The emerald knobs are beautiful and really add the finishing touch to the nightstands. I always admire your work. Thanks for sharing at Throwback Thursday.
What a pretty makeover! I love the contrast of the emerald knobs against the black paint. Thanks so much for sharing with this week's Throwback Thursday party.
Aww! Thank you!
