Ikea Hack: Follow Up

I just realized that I have posted about many DIY projects and have never followed up with the finished products.  Here is one such project, originally posted here.  Our nightstands are done and I think they look great.  They took a little longer than anticipated but it was worth the wait.  What do you think?




The lighting in our bedroom is not great(yet;-) ) so these pictures are not stellar but I think you can get the idea.  The only thing that I would like to tweak is to do a better job filling in the pre-drilled holes for the drawer pulls.  If you look closely at the 1st picture you can see the uniformed indentions between the new hardware we put on. That, at least, is something easy we can fix!
