Chrome night stands

We recently purchased our first home. It's a fixer upper, to put it lightly. My husband and father in-law are pretty handy as it turns out, so they've been busting their little hineys getting this place in tip top shape. I will be sharing some of the DIY renos that we have completed a little later, but here's one of my favourite inexpensive ways to modernize old furniture. Spray paint is my new best friend. It's quick, it's cheap and it's easy. We took these old nightstands and gave them a completely new look. First step is sanding. It's very important to make sure the surface is evenly sanded so the paint will adhere properly. After you'e sanded, make sure to wipe away all of the excess dust with a damp rag. Now you're ready to paint. A nozzle that attaches to the spray paint can will be your best friend in this process. Start with light, even coats allowing the paint to dry for at least a couple of hours before a second coat. We ended up with drips in places, so another round of sanding was required. Two coats of paint later, these beauties were ready. We gave them a few days before bringing them in for the paint to set completely. I love them to pieces! The rest of the furniture had better watch out...
