Master bedroom night stands

When I started dreaming of shiplap on the master bedroom wall, and pinning all kinds of cute night stand ideas, I had no idea how hard it would be to find two night stands that are the same height.  Especially since I wasn’t really looking for night stands that are store-bought.  (I didn’t think I wanted them all matchy, matchy).  I guess I was wrong, because I love the twin look of these night stands!

It all started with THIS table and a dream, I mean really…!!!…… I dreamed about this table and the end results!

salvaged-table

I know what you are thinking, “Jodi, this table looks more like a nightmare!” 

A friend of mine has this awesome vintage swap page on Facebook where she sells amazing “old treasures”.  She posted this table for $25.  Unfortunately I wasn’t the first one to respond so I missed out on this rough little beauty.  I did try to send a FB message to the buyer to see if she would be willing to give it up for me. Unfortunately, she said she really needed it…….I was so sad. I even dreamed of the table and the project I had in mind for it.  

Any who!  The next day, I was at my friend’s house to pick up a different table and the BUYER for my dream table was there!!!  She started asking me about the “new” table I was going to buy and I told her I didn’t know if I was going to actually get it……..well the story turns out, we traded tables and my dreams came true!!!  <–that NEVER happens!

Here’s how my night stand dream came true!

First thing I did when I got it home was to tear it apart! 

salvaged-table

First I removed the “extenders”  (the mechanism that allowed the table to be extended out so leaves could be added). 

Next I removed the screws that attached the apron and legs to the top so I could separate them.  (sorry I don’t have pictures of all this)

Mike got out his saw and cut a total of 10-1/2″ out of the center of the table – making 4 pieces.

upcycle-table

In the piece you see above, the 10-1/2′ was cut from the space between the two sections.  Again I didn’t take a good picture (sorry) and I really want to draw a picture for you!!!  haha – this is what I do for Mike when he starts to give me that “I have no idea what you are talking about look”!  Ok – no drawings for you so hang in there – I think you will get it! 

I then attached two pieces to make one.  The two pieces that I attached were the two pieced that would normally separate so you could add a leaf…….there is that clear as mud?!  If not, just look at the picture below and fall in love with my new night stands!

Master-bedroom-end-tables

Can you see it now?!  This is what I dreamed of!!  I love it when a dream comes true!!!  This cool old table even still had the original marble casters.  I think the night stands turned out so cute!!!  

Here is how I attached them to the wall – since they only have two legs…………had to do something to hold them in place!

I LOVE THEM – ALL MATCHY, MATCHY, OLD AND CUTE.
