Nicole found this frumpy side table on craigslist for “almost free” and wanted to use it in her bedroom. But first it needed a spruce up and boy did it get one.

From Nicole:

Since the entire piece was made from plywood, the drawer front was replaced with 1/4 wood veneer for a nice wood accent that would match the new legs that were attached. Both the new drawer front and legs were stained with danish oil. The entire piece was primed and painted with high gloss Benjamin Moore Advance in Snowfall White. The inside of the unit was painted in Tropicana Cabana.
