Here’s a look at a small furniture project.

Before we got the barn, we never really had a master bedroom – certainly not one large enough to have a nightstand on each side of the bed! So we found these guys on Craigslist for $15 each, roughed them up with some sandpaper, and painted them a true gray.

(True confession: the knobs cost more than the tables, as they cost $8 each.)

But at the end, it was a pretty thrifty project, and we’re quite happy with the results.
