I wanted my very own nice bed sidetable. I took an old, sad looking (water damaged + brown) Swedish antique (no good quality), gave it new beautiful hardware and gave it a professional paint job. I love how it turned out! You can find the DIY project on my design blog: http://www.splendidwillow.com I don't recommend painting nice antiques, but trust me when I say that this original piece was nothing to write home about!
