After seeing a nite stand in a store she liked, my wifes only concerns were it’s dimensions. And of coure I thought it was too much money… so I said “I can make that for you.” Although I did make it, and it is the dimensions that she prefered, it probably cost me as much to make it as it would have to buy it, lol.
Also, I just made it up as I went along… so I don’t have a blue print, and now she wants one to match for my side of the bed… At least I have the other to look at as a reference. :D
It is made of pine, all but the bead board which I used as the drawer face and side panels. The side are pretty much a frame around the panels like a cabinet door.

A job well done .. and in the cost factor you forgot to factor in the benefit of it being handmade (by you)—the cost might be the same but the value is SO much more than the boughten one.

Looks good to me and it didn’t come from China. If you did it once, you can do it again.

I love it! Never would have thought about using bead board on it…great idea! The basket weave knob on the drawer gives it a nice touch. I know you’ll be able to do it again, I just hope you can find the same bead board and knob to match! “Keep burning and learning”....Danette
