Sea Shell Nightstand (Before & After)

Here's my sea shell nightstand! I call it this because it looks like the inside of a sea shell - that beautiful light pink.

Here's what the nightstand looked like before.  It was white, but there was a dark glaze over it.  It just looked a little dirty and I thought it would be so sweet freshened up.

While I was painting, I came across this stamp on the bottom:

It is from 1952!  I thought that was fun to find a date on the bottom of the drawer.  I started off by washing down the nightstand and then painted it in ASCP Antoinette.  The weather was warm enough to paint outside and it was great to be in natural light breathing in all that fresh air.  I love this color pink!

Then I distressed it to show through some of the white.

Inside the drawer is a little surprise - a pop of grey - Paris Grey that is!

I can't resist but show you a few more photos.  From the side: 

 and a close up of the front:

Isn't she sweet?  She'd look fantastic in a little or big girl's bedroom!  She's looking for a new home.
