Bombay nightstand

I came across this Bombay-style nightstand of really great quality at a nearby shop.  I lucked out and purchased it for $100. They were in the middle of painting it gray as gray was all the rage. I utilized the gray paint as my undercoat. 

I used Duck Egg Blue Annie Sloan, which is more green in actuality.  I then sanded down to the gray to give it the shabby chic I’m drawn to, especially in the high areas that would typically show wear.  I finished it in a clear wax with a few streaks of brown mixed in.  I capped it off with some a few bronze wax highlights and added some glass knobs that I love.

It sits in our living room and stores our batteries, extension cords, and desk supplies out of sight.  I know it was a score because my daughter said she’d like to have it someday.
