The nightstands are finished

Yes, I am still working on this. If you could see me I was doing a fist pump of excitement. So...one thing that you may notice about this nightstand is that it looks exactly like the other one...even the way that the door opens. Some major oversight in the manufacturing if you ask me. Apparently the person doing assembly didn't think that you would need to open this one while laying in bed. I seriously had to get out of bed to see inside.



Now here is the finished one. I used wooden dowels to fill the holes of the old handle, and then wood putty to fill in the cracks. Then just had to use the drill to make a new hole on the correct side for the handle and a handy dandy drill to attach the new hinges. Now on to enjoying that it is opening the correct way :-)
