Every since I went with a more neutral color scheme in the master bedroom, I felt that it lacked any pizazz. Know what I mean? In order to get neutral right - at least in my little opinion - you need layers of texture and contrast..
When I started these changes, I knew it would be a process. One that would evolve over time with ideas coming to me gradually. Once the pillows were added, the night stands called for a new color.
I went with SW urban bronze for the color, but felt they needed something more.
My blogging friend and Weim lover, Rebecca from the blog GibbGabb, recently did a great makeover on her tables giving me the inspiration for my project.

After two coats of white semi-gloss and removing the tape, the best part by far, this is the result.

Love these!! I think they give you the perfect amount of pizazz!
Did you make the bolster pillows? I need a tutorial. I want to make one really bad.
Thanks LindsB!
Kelli, I purchased the pillows here for less than I could have made them myself. Love them!

Great touch! Love how the greek key adds an extra dash of style to the side table.
Just love what a little paint and creative thinking can do. Your room is so pretty.
Rene, Your table is gorgeous! So upscale and updated! I love the vignettte on your table too!
You are right about neutrals. I redocorated my family room last winter, and I just had to add a little color. I chose some blue and white transferware to pull it together. I also added a big black and white floral, sorta like the impact of the key design.
Your room is so inviting! You really nailed it!
What a great visit!

These look fab! You were worried about them?? I like them a lot! :)
Beautiful, just what your space needed!
Excellent! The clean lines of the nightstands works so well with the crisp greek key!
I just love a touch of greek key! Adding some GK moulding to a vintage china cabinet tonight, in fact!

Oh, Rene. It is beautiful. What a difference a pattern makes. Did it take a long time to tape off?
Love the tables! They're so dramatic with the greek key pattern on top, now. Thanks for sharing.
A great addition both to the room and the nightstands, well done Rene!

Thanks ya'll! Courtney, taping it off was the hardest part for me. Definitely stimulated some gray matter. Now that one is done the other one should be a cinch.
Just the right amount of personality! These are gorgeous, as is your room. Love the roll pillows!
XO,
Michelle

Rene, this is so beautiful!! I love the pattern and your nightstand looks amazing! Love that little clock! :)
They look AMAZING! I love the pattern and the knobs. Stunning!
Officially in love! Great job!
Fabulous! I love neutral looks for, as you say, and I agree with, the layers of texture and contrast. This is the perfect detail.
I think they look marvelous, Rene. :) Beauty is in the details, no?
Love them!!!! Great job:)
Way to go sister! Love the greek graphic punch.

Your night stands are beautiful, Rene. You did a great job. I think these should be featured in a magazine!
Oh those look fantastic Rene. I love the contrast. I agree, magazine worthy!
Rene, it's perfect! What a great job!
Thank you sweet ladies!
Looks fantastic! I'm so impressed, Nicolex
Fantastic! I love the little glass knobs on the drawers and the pattern on top is beautiful. Love the pillows too on the white spread. I change my bedding over to an antique white coverlet in the summer. I love white in the bedroom. Nice job.
This is awesome! I will definitely have to try it.
Thanks for the inspiration!
I have the same neutral theme in my bedroom as well. I love it! My walls are a greenish khaki with white chair rail and painted white below chair rail. I have sheer black and sheer white curtains on my windows. Very simple. Then my bed is an old vintage wood bed that i painted glossy black. I also have two matching vintage dressers that i also painted glossy black. But the reason i am mainly commenting is the picture you have on your nightstand??? I HAVE THE SAME ONE...!!! :) In fact i have four of them the same size as the one you have and a massive one. They really seem to add such a peaceful quality to the room. Love what you did to your room. Such talent! :)
They are gorgeous! Beautifully done :)
Happy Weekend!
Those turned out so perfect, Rene!! Have fun on your vacation and enjoy your time unplugged!!

Love the tables! They look fantastic.

Rene, these Greek Key night stands are Brilliant. Love them.
