Allyson's Nightstand

I missed your blog but like the nightstand, guess I go look at the blog now. Good job!

-- Tim: Remember, if it doesn't say Binford, someone else made it.

Wow, Thomas. Just beautiful.

On my short list includes a pair of 3-drawer, shaker/mission-style nightstands. My dream would be that the come out as well as yours did.

Very nice!

Very nice blend of mission and Shaker style. I like the box joints on the drawers.

Nice work!

Your client has a good eye for design detail—a very functional table.

Excellent build and finish.

I need to make shaker style table that will have two drawers… thanks for your blog and showing the inside of the drawer separator.

again… well done!

Very cool drawers indeed. Nice work.

Very nice table. Well done.

Great table. I really like to look of the 2 drawers. His and Hers. LOL

Great looking nightstand…

Thanks for all of your kind comments.

Very nice project. I just wonder why you chose the (nickel-plated?) knobs, any particular reason?

i really like this…so clean and nice…

-- Matt, Napa, CA...fun is beautiful...just trying to have some fun...

Hi DrTebi. I thought of perhaps turning nobs or make them myself in some other way. The truth is I wanted to finish the project and didn’t want to spend more time trying to come up with something. I opted for the easier way out.

Thanks for the reply, Tom. I was wondering about it, because I like mission and arts & crafts furniture a lot, but these usually come with either wooden knobs or dark brass hardware. Today they call these hardware finishes “oil-rubbed brass” or “antique brass,” however these did not exist back in those days—the dark patina simple developed over time. What I am trying to say is that the knobs you used will eventually do the same, and you will have the same look… just don’t polish them :)
Sorry for going off about this… I have been looking at too much hardware parts during my house remodel in the last few month!

Hi DrTebi. That’s interesting. For my part, I don’t plan to polish them and I don’t think Ally will either.
I might need to talk to my wife, but I don’t think there is much risk there either. ;-)
