Hey, everyone! Kristin from The Fifth Sparrow No More here showing off one of our most beloved and shared techniques – turning an old nightstand into a modern and fun card catalog style table.
Materials for this project:
- Whitecap Silk Mineral Paint
- Tide Pool Silk Mineral Paint
- Soft Pink Chalk Mineral Paint
- Pallet Wood Pattern Decoupage Paper
- Dixie Belle Mud in Brown
How To Create a Card Catalog Style Nightstand:
Step 1: Thoroughly clean and prep the surface
First, clean the surface of your furniture with prep tools of your choice.
Step 2: Conduct any necessary repairs
Secondly, if there are any holes from past hardware, fill them with Dixie Belle Mud. I used the Dixie Mud in Brown to better blend into the nightstands original color. Sand off excess mud if there is any.
Step 3: Paint your base neutral color and add highlights
Next, paint your piece! I used Whitecap Silk Mineral Paint as the base color, then added pink and green hues to blend and create a custom color.
Step 4: Add decoupage rice paper
Then, I used Dixie Belle Paints Rice Decoupage Paper in Pallet Wood Pattern. I cut the paper into blob-like shapes and then added a liquid adhesive to stick the paper on my nightstand.
Step 5: (optional) Add vintage card-catalog type pulls
Lastly, I added vintage looking pulls as my hardware to really give this piece the vintage vibe!
