Now that I've completed several projects from the Ana White website, I've started accumulating scrap wood at various lengths. I have been in need of new nightstands for quite some time (seeing as I was using a Rubbermaid bin on one side of my bed ). I modified the plans to use my scraps; on the tops and bottoms are 1X4 cut to 18", and on the sides I had extra 1X8 that I ripped down to 1X6 because I wanted a sleek profile and rectangular finish. I also found them a little plain and added decorative 2 1/2" corner braces for look that I painted in black gloss.
Thank you as always for the awesome plans and the inspiration!!
Estimated Cost
I used all scrap wood, therefore 0$. I would estimate it to be about 50$ Canadian to build the two nightstands plus stain/paint.
