Bedside tables

The building has slowed down a lot because Bradyn is busier with school and I am busier with work. We still manage to squeeze in a little time here and there. This next project was something Bradyn made for me. I didn't feel like our room was big enough to have bedside tables so we were trying to live without them. It didn't take us long to realize we both wanted a light on our side of the bed and also a place for our phones and what not. So we started looking at other options. I found this on amazon.com:
I thought it was perfect. It was $59.99. A steal, right? I brought the idea to Bradyn and he sure delivered. 


We already had the knobs so we just needed wood and paint. Total cost for these bad boys are about $8.00 for the pair. A lot better than $120.00 for the two. 

The pictures on top of our bed is a little project of mine. It was an idea I found on pinterest a few months ago and I was just waiting to try it out. This is the link I first saw: http://trendythrifting.com/2012/11/01/diy-canvas-prints-huge-impact-low-cost/

Basically the photo is an engineer print from staples. That size is $1.99 (b/w only) and then I used the thicker foam board for presentations from the dollar store. So each "canvas" cost $3.00 total. It's always a good day when your project cost less than $10.00! It was super easy and took less than an hour.
