Goodwill Nightstand Furniture Redo

Share It:
Jim and I purchased our bedroom set many moons ago. We bought it during a tent sale and there was only 1 nightstand. Not one to love a matchy-matchy look, I decided it was fine and I would come across something someday soon. Fast forward 9 years. No nightstand. Well, until....


While browsing through the local Goodwill store, I came upon this beauty for a whopping $12!



Good bones, the clear glass on the top was almost perfect with no scratches, and I knew it wouldn't take much to bring her into the 21st century.

I removed the glass first. Then I used a deglosser first and didn't use a lick of sandpaper or primer. This stuff is my favorite to make a job easier. Then I used a paint sprayer to apply 3 coats of a high gloss white Rust-oleum paint.


I sprayed the bottom of the glass piece with Krylon's Looking Glass spray paint to give it a mirror-like finish.  That took about 7 coats since you have to spray it on in very thin layers.
 

Popped the glass back in and done!  I absolutely love it. LOVE IT!  I debated about the mirror look but I'm so glad I did it. It adds so much glam and sparkle. I think it looks fab with my Home Goods lamp!
 



Don't judge me for my reading material. Nora Roberts rocks. 



I love the details on the legs!
 




So staging. Hmmm, the not-so-secret secret of home bloggers. I think it's a necessary evil and I do it quickly and begrudgingly. I get that we want our pictures to look pretty but I just can't maintain my house like this. 

Check out what I actually took off the nightstand to take the pictures!  HA HA HA!  That's right, I have a ribbon that says I'm aged to perfection next to my bed just in case I wake up in the middle of the night wondering if I am, in fact, aged to perfection. 
 

Cheers!
Jenny

  5. I love it. You always manage to inspire me. I do have a question. Where can I find the Dander Deglosser? I've tried Lowe's and Sherwin Williams, but neither place had heard of this product. I really hope you can help me discover where I can get this stuff. I have two projects I'm itching to t started on. Thanks

  7. Honesty is the best policy! Sometimes I forget to stage my project. I use Looking Glass spray on windows, but never thought about a glass table. It is great - looks very high-end.
