Amanda’s DIY Crate Nightstands

My fabulously talented friend, Amanda Smith, shared these DIY nightstands with me the other day. They are super simple to make–just crates and hairpin legs–but so cute!  From Amanda:

Supplies

• Crate–check your local craft store
• 4 hairpin legs with screws (measure your crate and bed to make sure your choose the right length)
• Two tones of gray paint, one dark and one light

Equipment

• Paintbrush
• Drill

First paint the crate, with the lighter gray paint on the outside and the darker gray on the inside.  Let dry, then attach the harpin legs in each of the four corners with your drill.  It’s as easy as that!
