From the blogger: "After finishing up the two dressers from my Grandma with black paint and new glass knobs I was in dire need of a bedside table! Immediately I thought of this old wash stand. It was in MUCH worse shape then the rest of my bedroom set and was not nearly as nice a piece, however it shared many of the same pretty curvy lines so I got to work! Five layers of paint later (and two days) I was finally able to sand it down a little and paint it! I think this little wash stand really came out nice and I'm rather proud of it!"
