Two-Tone Night Stand

Who couldn't use some more storage space in their bedroom? This little night stand keeps books, reading glasses, and maybe a glass of water close at hand (or out of sight) in a small drawer and on a shelf behind the door. Borrowing from Shaker, Craftsman, and contemporary styles, this night stand is both good looking and easy to build. You'll find some basic tongue and dado joinery along with traditional mortise and tenons. And a contrasting dye makes the top, base, and knobs stand out. The cutting diagrams and materials list are available to download in this Online Extra. (See download link above)
