I fell in love with a nightstand. And a blog. I want this…
in my house, beside my bed stacked with my decor magazines and scented candle. (Since I’m dreaming, we’ll nix the alarm clock.) I NEED it there. Did I ever mention I’m using a cardboard box as a night stand? Can you understand my longing for this?

linked up to the DIY Project Parade last week with this beauty:
If I can’t have it, can I be inspired by it? Can I copy it?
Yes. And Yes!
What about that GORGEOUS paint treatment?
I‘d love to copy/paste her tutorial but instead, I’ll send you over to check it out. Click HERE to see her faux zinc painting tutorial. Thanks for sharing your creativity, Jami!
Thanks for your sweet comments about Niski. She is slowly improving. She’s not walking or standing longer than a few seconds.
She is still on crate rest and meds but…she wanted to take a minute from her crate in order to show you how she is doing.
Please forgive my poor DIY video skills with bad lighting and sample audio clip.
I’m just a beginner with no technical skills whatsoever and still learning! Only the 2nd video in my entire life.

I spent more time than I would like to admit to even show you this much and when the screen goes black, that’s the end, despite the fact that it plays a lot longer – oops.
For right now – I don’t let her walk. It’s too soon but I wanted to give you an update. When crate rest is over, we will use a scarf under her tummy to help her walk when permitted. 🙂

And if you can’t see it …I apologize. I don’t know what I’m doing!

Ah! You're welcome. Thank you SO MUCH, Roeshel!!! I'm running a giveaway on my blog for the paint that I used for the faux finish…Come put your name in the hat. You could use it on your cardboard box, too. 🙂 We've all been there.
Happy to read that Niski is improving, even if slowly. Poor pup. (Your video was fine. I could see it.)
Thanks for making my Tuesday!
Jami
That is a great little piece of furniture! LOVE the finish!
I loved seeing your video on Niski – what a cutie pie — and on the road to recovery! So happy for that! 🙂
Having been where you are with a doxie dog, just be careful with encouraging her to walk. One thing you can do is, roll a towel up and put under her tummy towards her back end, you hold the ends of towels, lift slightly and "walk" her that way. We also found water therapy helpful, fill the tub or small pool deep enough for her to float and she will have the natural instinct to swim, make sure the water is warm. I can not express enough how much accupuncture worked for our doxie. Good luck and hugs and kisses to Niski……
After several rough weeks Miss Niski is still wagging her tail! So sweet. Thanks for sharing this journey with all of us. It was rather amazing to see her walking, even if she's still a bit wobbly 🙂
The silver paint treatment is really cool. Must go check out that blog…like I needed ANOTHER design blog to read! LOL You're such a bad influence, Roeshel!
This IS a great nightstand, thanks for that link. Video played fine – Niski looks happy and is obviously getting plenty of DIYTLC.
Oh, I love it! I've been wanting to try silver-leafing something, but maybe I'll do this instead. Seems easier!
I couldn't see the video, but thank you for the update! Poor little pup. I'm glad there's been progress.
I came here looking for an update on Niski and I'm so happy she's doing better! What a cutie she is!
And I love that nightstand!
