How to Refurbish a Night Stand With Paint and Hardware

Materials:

- Nightstand

- Sandpaper

- Primer (optional)

- Paint in your desired color

- Paintbrush or roller

- Screwdriver

- New hardware (knobs, handles, drawer pulls, etc.)

Instructions:

1. Preparation:

- Remove all drawer knobs and handles from the nightstand.

- Use sandpaper to sand down any rough or uneven surfaces of the nightstand.

- Wipe the nightstand with a damp cloth to remove any dust or dirt.

2. Apply Primer (optional):

- If the nightstand is made of raw wood or has significant damage, you may want to apply a primer before painting. Primer helps the paint adhere better to the surface.

- Follow the manufacturer's instructions on the primer can for application and drying time.

3. Paint the Nightstand:

- Choose a paint color that complements your bedroom decor.

- Use a paintbrush or roller to apply the paint in even coats. Allow each coat to dry completely before applying the next one.

4. Add New Hardware:

- Once the paint is completely dry, replace the old hardware with new knobs, handles, or drawer pulls.

- Make sure the new hardware matches the screw holes on the nightstand.

5. Let it Cure:

- Allow the newly painted nightstand and new hardware to dry and cure completely before moving or using it.

Now your refurbished nightstand is ready to add charm to your bedroom! This simple project can give a well-loved piece of furniture a brand new look and extend its lifespan.
