I saw the plans for this nightstand and loved it! It was exactly the piece of furniture I was looking for to use as an end table. I decided to stain the top and paint the bottom. The outside is a greenish-teal color and the inside is a light, fun yellow. I also submitted this project to Canvas Corp Brands' Blog and they published it!

Finish Used
I used Minwax stain in the color of English Chestnut for the top. I also added two coats of shiny poly over the stain. For the paints on the bottom I applied Tattered Angels DIY and Decor paints in the colors of Mankato and Chamoise. I first wiped down the whole piece with a damp cloth to remove dirt, and then since it was already sanded, I just began to add color. I used a rag to stain the top and applied two coats. I used a small Purdy brush on the bottom to apply the paint. I did a light coat of paint first, then came back with another light coat to cover any spots I missed.
