Maria is always looking for projects to do during her time off since she works for a seasonal business and has nothing but time in the winter. Maria’s third project she submitted, her DIY night stand, was a very easy one that took only a few days to complete from start to finish. She bought two very worn, beat up tables on Swip Swap for the low price of $10 for both. After a little T.L.C., Maria transformed those tables into two beautiful night stands for her home in North Cape May. Here are the steps she took for this DIY project:
Step 1: First, she sanded down the top of the table.
Step 2: Next, she painted the entire table, including the door, with two coats of paint.
Step 3: After allowing the table to dry, she slightly distressed the table with sand paper.
Step 4: Then, she white washed the table by brushing white wax onto it, excluding the top.
Step 5: Once the table was dry, she stained the top with a dark walnut stain.
Step 6: Lastly, she applied two coats of polyurethane to the table.
Total Cost: Approximately $14 for both night stands – $10 for the tables and $4 for the white wax. Maria had the paint and polyurethane at home already.
