Man: "Wood should be wood colored"
Me: "Not when it's a pain in the ass"
Man: "I really like the coffee table you did"
Me: "That was a pain in the ass"
Man: "I would consider that nightstand for myself if you refinished it"
Me: "Uh-huh"
So I painted it. OK, to be honest I really did try to refinish it. Really. But........
it was a PAIN IN THE ASS!
I found this at a thrift store quite a while ago and it was just sitting the garage. I couldn't pass it up at the time I bought it because it was soooooo cheap, and such a sturdy, heavy, well constructed piece.
It also resembled the same components of the outdated furniture that was in our bedroom. For instance:
3 drawers and a pull-out shelf where he would put his coffee every morning. I figured if it funktioned the same as the old crap, he wouldn't even notice that I painted it.
Hee hee...........
See? I mean it IS wood colored so to speak.
And the pull out coffee shelf.....
I'm totally happy with the way it turned out. Not to rank on men or anything, but this nightstand could be purple and as long everything is in the same place as the old stuff, I don't think he'd notice.
Hee hee
