Bummer! Are you close to a Restore? I see stuff in mine from time to time, but have never tried looking seriously for something specific. It will be fun to see what you create.

We did – looked at Home Depot last week. Need to check online at Lowe’s. But chepeast was almost $100 and that just isn’t in the budget. 🙁 But great suggestion!

This would solve the issue of the hinges. I think the stained top and white bottom, including drawers is lovely and a bit more classic. Seems like that would better go with the rest of your home.

I would stain both the tops and drawer fronts of the furniture and maybe go with chalk paint in the paris gray color for the sides, etc. I would go the easy route and just have shelves all the way to the floor in that corner with some big baskets for linens, etc. I think it would look best to use two different nightstands, but not the one that came with the other furniture, which to me, would look too matchy. Can’t wait to see how it all comes out!

For the nook, I like the cabinet doors – the look as well as the fact it can hide that extra clutter, as well as provide storage space. However, that sounds a little labor intensive! :0) If you could find the right size large basket, I think that would look great there, especially if it were one with a lid that could provide storage and privacy. I LOVE your idea of the gallery wall and can’t wait to see what you come up with! I’ve been posting several pictures of those from Pinterest. As for the furniture, I like the dark stain on top and painted white, especially sine you are going with dark gray walls. Whatever you do, keep the hardware! Looking forward to how it all turns out!
Blessings,
Lanita

Here’s my .02 🙂 I commend you for trying to create a built shelf/cabinet unit from scratch. I’m not that brave yet! I would attempt to find a cabinet that would fit the bottom (maybe 2 skinny kitchen cabinets? you may be able to find them for nothing at the Restore) and trim and paint so it all looks cohesive, similar to this: http://www.younghouselove.com/2014/02/top-o-the-built-in-to-ya/. If that’s not an option I would definitely go the easy way and add shelves top to bottom with baskets; I love how they add an organic element to the decor. I recently took a $6 estate sale side table and painted it using the lightest shade in the same paint card as my wall color and re-stained the top. It looks white from a distance but up close you get the hints of blue and I think it looks very pretty. Plus, I can always repaint it! If you’re aiming for a darker wall color that might work for the dressers, but you can’t go wrong with white either. I would do the stained top with the rest painted and also get some new hardware. There are so many cool, inexpensive options out there now and it would give the vintage furniture a twist (such an amazing deal btw!). Since you only have one night table, I would look for a matching set that’s different from the rest of the furniture. Frankly, they don’t even need to match if you have matching table lamps and they are of equal/similar height but I think that’s a matter of what you prefer/lets you sleep at night 😉 Can’t wait to see where you end up; it’s going to be an amazing transformation!

I love that furniture! I can’t believe you got it all for $40. That’s amazing! I can’t wait to see what you decide for it. It will look great no matter which you choose!
