DIY Ahead.

Steven & I had matching night stands twice in our "since living together" lives. First, we had two black Parsons square side tables to go with our Malm bed. Those matched but they were boring. Then we got two 60s mammoth square tables with marble tops to replace them. Those were cool, but it didn't look good with the malm bed, I think the table tops were higher than the headboard. For the past 6 months or so, poor Steven's had a skirted table at his bedside, and that just feels wrong! In my drawing below, I had pictured something with two drawers and long legs. I was going to paint those black and mount brass numbers and suitcase pulls onto the fronts.

This weekend we went to Ikea to pick up two of the Edland dressers for $199 each. I have been calling them Federalist-style. Steven thought they would be too big for our 950 sq. ft. apartment, he said "let's go home and measure first..." Fine with me, seeing this thing in person makes me sort of hate its legs anyway. So then I'm looking on Craigslist, just to check and found these:

$150 for BOTH?! Fuck yes! Hi, are these still available?! YES! So yesterday we picked up two matching night stands for $150! Less than one Edland and I don't have to put it together myself. They're from the 60s; I love them and now I'm ready to paint them--probably won't happen until this weekend, but hold your horses 'cuz I'm gonna make these baller.
