Materials Needed:
- screwdriver
- cloth
- wood cleaner, such as Murphy Oil Soap
- removable vinyl decals
- painter's tape
- straight edge (like an old credit card)
- utility knife
- medium-grit sandpaper
- paintbrush
- latex paint
- water-based sealer
Step 1
Unscrew any drawer pulls or knobs and set aside. Wipe down the stand with the cloth and cleaner.
Step 2
Position the removable decal on the front; secure with a piece of painter’s tape at the top. We used Affordable Vinyl Graphics flower embellishment (from $4 each, mywalldecals.com). Apply the decal according to the instructions, running a straight edge over it to eliminate air bubbles. Use a utility knife to slice through any of the decal that spans across more than one drawer.
Step 3
Lightly sand all the wood around the decal, then wipe it down with a cloth. If you want the stand’s legs to remain unpainted, like ours, tape them off.
Step 4
Paint the table and let dry. Warm Gold by Glidden was used here.
Step 5
Using your fingernail, pick at one edge of the decal until you can get a good grip. Slowly peel it off the wood. If you taped the legs, remove the tape.
Step 6
Coat the entire nightstand with the sealer and let dry. Reattach drawer pulls or knobs.
