Chevron Nightstand

I know I already did a post about nightstands earlier here, but I thought this one needed a bit of....something.

More pizazz

More "Look at me!"

So, I jumped on the Chevron bandwagon!

And I gotta tell you, I totally love it!

So subtle, so pretty, so...so...

I can't even think of a word for it! lol

 

 

Score!  I also learned how to use PicMonkey a little better.  I still don't like it as much as Picnik, but these edits are cool, and I figured out how to save to my computer.(Finally.)

 

 

 

This is what it looked like before.  Not terrible, but not super cute either.  It looks so much better now.

 

 

Here's a little peek at how it's done.  I basically did it the easy way.  I used painters tape as the ruler.

I started with the middle, I put on strip to the left so that the end of the tape was the exact middle of the drawer.

Then I did my first stripe from the bottom middle to the top corner.

I next used the tape width as the stripe width.

I painted several coats over the course of a couple days to get the desired look.  A wash out look would've been cool too.

(Drier brush, not a lot of coverage)

I used leftover paint from my other project here.

It is gray on white, and looks lovely in my living room.

My son wants a green dresser with a motorcycle on it.  I told him maybe.  :)
