Turn your old trunks, radios, stools, bigger plant pots, etc. into unique nightstands. You can add patina to the wood, cover the stand with interesting cloth, paint the whole thing or just draw details. If you’re quite satisfied with your current nightstand and have no need to repurpose, you can spice things up with some effective decoupage technique and get yourself a completely new nightstand on a budget.
