We are nearing the end of our posts for projects we designed and built for our little one’s big girl bedroom. I have to say, this was definitely one of my favorite design projects I have taken on, creating this sweet little escape was such a change from my typical design style and I had so much fun with it. Not to mention, my little helper was the best! 😉
Today we are sharing the free plans for these beautiful nightstands, designed and built by my husband, Nick (if you haven’t yet, you can check out his blog here). Every day I am in awe of his talent. He is completely self-taught and I love watching this new passion of his thrive and grow. I think it’s so important to have interests and hobbies that engage your mind and help build identity.
I wanted these bedside tables to feel light and dainty, just like the rest of her bedroom. But of course, we needed storage space, so Nick designed them to have one large drawer (disguised as two) on the top and an open shelf on the bottom. Right now we put two dip-dyed baskets to collect odds and ends, but they also look amazing with favorite books and toys stacked beneath.
Originally I planned to paint these nightstands light blue, I chose the palest blue I could find, but in the end, it turned out looking just like white anyway. And I am ok with that. 🙂
You can download the free plans here. And as always, we love to hear from you if you give these a try!

Hi this room is very cute! Can I ask what brand and style the carpet is? Thanks!
Alicia says
Thank you, Molly! Unfortunately, the carpet was installed when we moved into our home 5 years ago, so I don’t have any source information to share. We get a lot of questions about it though, I wish I could be of more help!
Bobbi says
Can you please share the link to your free plans? There isn’t one in the post.
Alicia says
Hi Bobbi, you just need to click on the image “Free Plans For This Project” at the end of the post. The plans are on Nick’s site, THe DIY Hubs. 🙂

Hello,
Where is the pink and gold lamp from?
Thanks!
Alicia says
Hi Melanie, I bought the lamps from Homesense (Homegoods) a few years ago. I haven’t had any luck sourcing a similar option online. I’m sorry, I know that’s not much help!
Kristi says
Hi! Did you brush, roll or spray the paint onto the nightstands? Thanks!!
Alicia says
Hi Kristi, we used a brush, but roll and spray would be just as good! 🙂
Brooke says
Hi, would you mind sharing the name of the pink wall paint color used?
Alicia says
Hi Brooke, of course! We painted Zoe’s bedroom Pink Bliss by Benjamin Moore. You can always find our up to date paint colours under the Shop section of our site. 🙂
