How to Revive a Beat-Up Nightstand
A single knob on each drawer is more modern than two. HGTV Magazine shows you how.

Materials Needed
- 1"-diameter cabinet knobs
- 9 shades of paint
Step 1
Remove the drawers, and unscrew and discard the old knobs. Patch the holes with wood filler. Sand and prime the frame and the drawer fronts.
Step 2
Paint the frame cobalt blue and the drawer fronts white. Let dry.
Step 3
Stand the drawers next to each other, faceup, so they’re touching. Use delicate-surface painter’s tape to tape off every other stripe in varying widths, running each strip of tape across both drawers. Slice the tape between drawers before painting.
Step 4
Paint each stripe, and peel off the tape while the paint is still slightly wet. Let dry overnight.
Step 5
Tape off the remaining stripes and paint them following step 4. Let dry.
Step 6
Drill holes for the new knobs and attach. Replace the drawers.
