About This Project

I used the Rhyan end table plan (with a few alterations) to make my nightstands. I changed the dimensions so mine turned out to be 20”D, 25”W, 27”H, I extended the side and back panels all the way to the top to close in the shelf and I made the bottom drawer larger. I decided to use under mount drawer slides but I think I will try out the side mount slides in the future though.

I wanted them to match the headboard and bench that I made for my bed so I added the same molding that I used on those pieces to finish it off.

I pre cut every piece for the main body of the nightstand and predrilled all of the Kreg holes which made it a really quick piece to put together! I purchased the Mini Kreg jig for this project and am so glad I did. Totally worth the money!

From Plan: 
Rhyan End Table
Estimated Cost: 
About $80 For 2 Nightstands
Estimated Time Investment: 
Weekend Project (10-20 Hours)
Required Skill Level: 
Beginner
Type of Wood: 
Furring Strips, MDF and 1/4 inch Plywood
Finish Used: 
I painted with Rust-oleum painters touch semi gloss white and then sprayed a few coats of polyacrylic on the top.

And what nice straight furring strips you have. LOL. How many did you have to use to get all of those nice straight pieces? ;-) Great job!

Furring Strips

LOL! I don't remember exactly how many I used since I had some scrap pieces left over from other projects I used but all of my strips are completely straight. I spent a LOT of time rummaging through the piles of furring strips at Blue laying them on the floor on all 4 sides of each strip until I had only straight ones.

What a beautiful job you have done! Your room looks fabulous. I am inspired by your work. I like the changes you have made to the plans. I really like the bench at the foot of the bed.

Hi, I love your furniture, I have a question about the finish...it looks go great, did you have to sand pre, and also, did you use a primer prior to spraying it? I'm working on the storage daybed now and would like a finish like yours.
Great work, thx for all the pics, I'm going to start the nightstands after the bed.

Finish

Thanks! I sanded the the parts that are solid wood but I did not sand the MDF which was a majority of the project since it is already smooth (though I did sand the edges of the MDF where I had made cuts). I primed the nightstands with Kilz 2 Latex primer and then painted with Rust-oleum painters touch semi gloss in white
Good luck with your bed and nightstands :)

I love your nightstands and

I love your nightstands and especially the size. Could you give me your cut list if not too much of a problem? Also, did you make the piece at the end of your bed? If so, where did you get the plans. Your room is gorgeous!
