Gotta little bling with only 1 buck!
Happy Monday Guys! I hope you had a fabulous weekend!
A few weeks ago I shared with you guys my love for nailhead trim. You can see the post of some of the pics I’ve pinned over at Pinterest here.
Well I figured the nightstands in our master bedroom were a great piece for me to try out my nailhead upgrade on.
I original was going to use decorative tacks, but on my last trim to Dollar Tree I came across a 300 pack of thumbtacks for $1 and I figured… why not!
I used the same stencil I had used to paint our master bedroom wall and just traced the design onto the front of the drawers with a pencil.
Then with the smallest drill bit I had I drilled a little hole, maybe a 1/4 of an inch?
Most of my holes I could just press in the push pins. Some needed a little tap from the mallet. A few I drilled too far and I used super glue to hold the tack in because it was loose.
Each drawer took me less than 5 minutes!

Hope you have a fabulous week!

Brilliant idea, that is such a hot trend right now, and I hadn’t thought of push pins!
I am in awe if this! I love how you mimicked the wall pattern. I’ve been wanting to add some nailhead trim to some of our furniture aand I am completely sold on it now. Great work!!!
I love it! What a clever idea – so pretty!

Very impressive! Filing this away for future reference!
