DIY Nightstand

My sweet little guy has been wanting something special for his bedroom for a while.  In our new rental home, our kids have their own rooms now and it’s been such fun being able to create a space just for each of them.  When my friend, Audrey from This Little Street announced she was creating a fabric and wallpaper line with Spoonflower, I knew exactly what I was going to do!  I’m so excited to share this DIY Nightstand.

*Removable Yellow + White Wallpaper
*Removable Black + White Grid

I’ve owned this little nightstand since early college… which was roughly 11 years ago (eeks).  My mama bought my sister and I matching ones my last year of school, when we lived together.  It was originally a natural wood color.  I’ve since painted it black, brown, soft orange and the last color was this light blue.

I lugged this guy from the basement and gave him a quick clean and sand.  I used Valspar Flat white spray paint and gave it 2-3 coats.

After the painted was adequately dry, I brought it inside and prepped for my lovely paper additions.  I fell in love with all the fun patterns that Audrey + Spoonflower have available.  They all mix and match so well.  I choose the *Dots in gold and the *small scale Grid, both in removable wallpapers.  I would describe the texture more like a lightly textured contact paper.

I turned the nightstand over and traced the top onto my Dots in gold paper and then cut.  Since these are removable, I was able to place the paper, take it up, move it slightly and place it down again.  These were really easy to work with.  They also came with a smoother guide.

After my removable papers were in place, I added a fun blue diamond knob to finish it off.

When my guy saw the new nightstand sitting in his room, he was thrilled!  He ran over and kissed me with a huge, “Aw, thanks mama!”

He will be able to store so many fun little boy treasures in that drawer.

I was provided free product for this post, but believe me when I say, I would have happily purchased these… they are amazing and all opinions are completely my own.
