Hannah opted to wipe the nightstands with a soft cloth and scuff-sand their surface using 120-grit sandpaper to achieve a flawless outcome. Since the nightstands still had legs attached, she utilized an oscillating tool to remove them along with any existing hardware.
After removing the elements, it is common to have a rough and uneven surface, which necessitates the use of a wood filler to level out any imperfections and create a smooth base for painting.
Priming plays a key role in ensuring proper paint adherence and a long-lasting finish. Hannah went for her go-to product, the Zinsser primer, and smoothly applied it to the surfaces using a roller brush.
