This DIY nightstand is a cool and easy project!  Totally modern and fun for anyone to try and make! 

 

Submitted By: That’s My Letter

 

Hey Remodelaholics! I’m Jamie from That’s My Letter!  I’m a mom to three: girl #1 (7), girl #2 (6) and buddy boy (4) and when I’m not busy with them I like to build, paint and sew. If I can make it I will.  I’m a DIY girl, I work with wood, fabric, and paint. I married my college sweetheart 10 years ago. I was born and raised in St. Paul, Minnesota, went to college in Worcester, MA and met my hubby.  He is from NYC so now we live in Westchester County, NY. I love being at home with our kids and try to carve out as much creative working time as possible each day.

 

Build: modern 2-drawer nightstand

I worked with Ana White again to make this nightstand.  She drew up the plansand I did the construction for my girl #1:

Inspired by the Monarch nightstand from Land of Nod:

It’s perfectly Mad Men in style, especially with those canted legs and curved front corner edges:

But even better that it has two drawers for concealed storage and one open shelf for easy access:

Fresh and sleek and fits perfectly just below the window:

(Right next to her Monarch inspired headboard and ruffle trimmed bedskirt.)

 

Here’s how I made the nightstand:


1. Using plans from Ana White herecut wood and construct:

2. To make drawer fronts cut 1/2″ plywood to size as per plans.

Then rip 1/4″ scraps at 1 1/4″ wide to ‘frame out’ drawer front.

Glue and clamp in place:

3. Once dry and sanded, chaulk seam between 1/4″ and 1/2″ to make for smooth finish:

4.  Secure drawer fronts to drawers:

5. Finish as desired.

(To see the complete how-to finish this nightstand as shown click here.)
