Sure it's no dramatic entry back into the world of blogging.  Now with a toddler and being busy back at work, it's hard to get back into doing projects let alone brag, I mean blog about them.

Anyway, I saw this sweet mid-century night stand at salvation army the other day.  By the time I decided to go back for it, it was obviously sold.  In sadness I bought this uglier one for $10.  I was up for the challenge.

So, I totally thought the night stand was covered in a wood veneer   After giving it a good stand to prep for painting I discovered it was actually solid wood.  I used oil and polish to finish the drawers, new handles and a fresh coat of black.
