Master Bedroom Update (again) Painted Nightstands

One day this room will be complete and the title will read Master Bedroom Complete! You won’t even know what to do with yourself because this room has been progressing since November. Really I’m so close to being done, I just need some artwork and to figure out a bedskirt.  The last update from a few weeks ago I suggested it was time to paint the nightstands and you all gave me such wonderful color ideas. I tried green but it wasn’t looking so great. Next choice was coral and we found a winner!

Just a refresher, here is the room a few short months ago, a mish mash of stuff with some temporary red curtains, boring beige walls that looked like purple poop at night and the nightstands I found for $35 total.

The color of the nightstands is Benjamin Moore Rhubarb.  I used a semi-gloss paint to get more of a glossy sheen on them.

I used some rub n buff to goldify the handles of our nightstands.  They were somewhat gold but it was a bit tarnished, this brought the gold factor up a level and it has a little more pop now.

 Here is the nightstand before and after:

Thanks for all your help with the nightstands!  I think they look so much better and add a nice punch of color to the room.  What do you think?

I’m linking up here:

    Wow, that is a drastic before and after! I love the coral and how it plays off of the black and white on the walls. Lovely.

  2. A Delightful Design says

    I love it! Congratulations on such a beautiful room. (so jealous. our room is still the ugliest space in our house.)

  3. Cassie @ Primitive & Proper says

    Oooh la la. The room is looking great and I was giddy when I saw you used the rub and buff stuff. Great product.

  8. Andrea@ourbluefrontdoor says

    WOW, the coral is gorgeous! You better be pinning these beautiful pics :)
    Love how the wall and coral color go so well together, you are right on the money my friend. Your hubby has to be so proud of you for being so savvy….show us more!!

    As if I didn't already think that you are a complete DIY genius, then you go and do this to your nightstands…and I'm in love all over again! The room is completely amazing…and now those nightstands are like *BAM* (in the best possible way!). It's amazing…I don't know what I'll do when you're all done, though, I think I might miss it!!!

    YOU ARE SO BRAVE!!! lol Ange, I never in a million years would have thought to paint my nightstands that salmon color. It is brilliant against your wonderful painted wall! It is coming along so nicely. Haven't talked to you in a while…maybe it's just because I was 'off the grid' while being on my little trip. I got sick the day I left for South Carolina and haven't gotten better yet. It was a miracle I finished my half marathon. {Thanks again for the well wishes!!!} DH looked in my ears when I returned to find they were both infected. I feel worse today than I did yesterday and I've been on antibiotics for 2 days. Makes NO SENSE…dizziness is what really gets me down. Anyway, enough complaining about me…hope you are well, my friend. Love and Hugs! Happy Valentine's Day, too!

    Girl, this room is HOT!!! I've been watching along the way and I'm pretty sure it's close to being on a magazine cover! The night stands rock! The color is gorgeous and they really stand out.

  12. Leslie says

    Yum, Ange!
    Of course the nightstands are coral!
    Have you seen your blog header? ;)
    It's YOU!!
    Do I also see a copy of New Evidence that Demands a Verdict?
    I am reading that just now, too!!!!!!!!
    Funny.
    Anyway, have a super fun time making over your beautiful room!
    HUGS!

    They look FABULOUS! You did a great job renewing the gold hardware, too. Wow. The white curtains look great too, btw.

  14. Maria Elena says

    Your room looks beautiful! We have been thinking of doing the same with my daughter's night stand. Thank you for the inspiration!

  15. Erin @ His and Hers says

    What an absolutely gorgeous room! I love the color palette and the pops of shiny gold goodness. And how long must it have taken you to stencil that wall? (Totally worth it, though. It's perfect.)

  16. How to Nest for Less says

    HOLY SMOKES!!!!! This room is perfection! And this is 100% my style. Girl, you ROCK! And thanks so much for sharing at my first ever linky party. You're an incredible friend :)

    Awesome sauce! ha! Love the new color on the tables! Great choice! PS. I love the pillow on your bed. I have a chair with that same fabric!

  18. chateau chic says

    I love what you've done in your bedroom. The colors are fantastic!! I was glad to see you have a brass bed. We have an antique brass bed and I was thinking I needed to change it. Yours looks so good in the mix.

    I was drawn to your makeover as I made some pillows (from flowers I photographed in my garden) that have that exact coral colour. Anyhow, great work and I love the colours you ave chosen.

  27. Christina {Designing by Numbers} says

    This makeover is just stunning! Not only do I love how your nightstands turned out (FANTASTIC colour!), but the entire room is just oozing sophistication and style.

    You did an amazing job!

    Take care,
    Christina

  28. Redlilocks {Swoon Worthy} says

    Holy heck, Ange, this is AMAZING!! I love the stencil, the bold contrast, the pop of coral in the nightstands… it just looks utterly fantastic.

    November? That's nothing, you are probably further along than I am and I've been making little changes here and there to my bedroom for the last year (and it's still no where near done)!!

    Beautiful job!! I am in love with this room! xxx

  29. Joanne says

    Visiting from TDC. And WOW what a different and a GORGEOUS color choice. And… that stencil wall….. sigh…. GREAT job!
    Thanks for the inspiration, Ange!
