I warned you that I bought some other items on my Goodwill shopping spree. These nightstands were $5 a piece and were not in too bad of shape. They were spray painted black, and though I appreciate the former owner's design aesthetic, black is not an easy color to cover. So I painted several coats of primer and paint. Then I decoupaged Michael Miller's Orchid Feeling Groovy fabric on the drawer fronts and top, replaced the hardware to get these demure little numbers:
Oh, you want to see inside the drawers?
How about that little bit of Keylime Clown Stripe goodness?
I'm working on a tutorial as we speak. But I didn't want you to miss a minute of admiration.
(A little encouragement through your comments does wonders- the tutorial is here!)
FAB-U-LOUS!! Can't wait for the Tut! I would love to do a bookcase or something!

Those are so much fun! I love that fabric. I really can't wait for the tutorial. I need to go out and find a couple of nightstands, so I'll be ready for the tutorial.

So cute! I am so thankful for the tutorial that you have prepared on how to do this-it's great to do something that is original and out of the ordinary. I would have never thought to use fabric-great idea! Thinking of doing this to spice up an old cutting table.

Ok, love the fabric but it would really not, in any way, shape, or form match my house LOL
But I am so going to try this with some pink toile I have laying around.
Thanks for the tutorial!
