$5 Thrifted Side Table Black Oak Makeover | High End Furniture Inspiration

I kept seeing a campaign style black woodgrain finished side table on the Williams Sonoma website. While this style of night stand is not specifically Campaign style - it has a similar shape and who doesn't want a 3 drawer night stand? It was refinished in General Finishes Black Gel stain on an Oak Veneer. I'm pretty sure this is now my favorite stain color on oak. Subtle wood grain popping through with variations of black. This could likely be replicated with a black wash (diluted black paint) or black milk paint as well. So many options!!

Original Intro Poem:
My Little oak 3 drawer
Someone brought you to the thrift store
Orphaned and alone
I picked you up and brought you home

You looked pretty cool
To have left you would have made me a fool
Give you a refresh, I will
Join the dark side, only with my skill!
