We had an outdoor (and indoor) Spring Market Sale at one of my booth locations (Shreveport, LA) and on Friday I saw a neat nightstand for sale and had to have it. I wanted to take advantage of the extra customer traffic so I overhauled it overnight. I used some chalk paint and dark wax with some distressing. The yardsticks are all vintage and cover both drawers and a square pattern within the inset on both sides.

I took it back the next morning and it sold within 15 minutes. Gotta love it!
