I went to some yard sales and scored some nice furniture for the cabin, including a large wooden armoire w/ large square coffee table/chest, a double night table, a single night table an old wooden chair, a towel rack, some decor and this little lighted pine tree. We are only buying hard (clean-able) surfaces used. We are going to fill up a storage unit so it's ready to move once the cabin is completed--the builder just got his first draw of money to start excavation!
Piece #1: The Double Night Table
This thing was $15, and looked kinda cool. Upon taking it home, I found it to be fairly dirty inside, with pet hair all over. I scrubbed it, and removed the backboard, to replace it with a new one cut at Lowes. I put an adhesive liner on the inside and painted the sides. I put new wooden feet that I painted chalk white.
For the doors, I thought those white stripes were tape residue, but it was where the cheap papery outside had peeled off so I had to paint over. I decided to use the supply of rustoleum I had.
I also put new clean hardware (they were old, dirty and rusted), and added these cute knobs from Hobby Lobby. These were the first table legs I picked out but it didn't fit the style at all so I went back and got these chunky wood ones I like better.
I decoupaged this wood pattern (59 cent scrapbook pages again!) on the top surface and the door panels--adding a few coats of mod podge so it would seal it from water damage.
I plan to put this between the Queen & Full beds in the bedroom 1:
