Continuing work on the antique drum nightstands. Instead of matching the painted bow front dresser, I chose a different design for the nightstands.
As a reminder, the nightstands were made from the round stands that came with my artist models, 1 1/2″ x 1/8″ wood circles and Houseworks 1 9/16″ long spindles.
I painted them with a base coat of Tapioca by Folk Art then added an aging wash of light brown. I then painted the green vines, followed by red and yellow for the roses.
The knob is the fancy end of an antique copper headpin. I love the way it turned out.
It fits in well with the rest of the furnishings.
I finished painting the second nightstand, and they are a pretty close match to one another.
I opted for doing mirror image painting so they would look more like a planned set than two of the same table.
There’s not much room on them for anything besides the lamps, but it all seems to work well together.
With these completed, this room is almost finished! :D
Of course, it hasn’t been fully accessorized yet, so stay tuned!
