I think I used about 7 inches of moulding on the bottom. The drawer also needed some trim. After taking this picture, I decided the top looked off balance so I added some beadboard and trim there too.
Reinvented Nightstands
Here's the challenge: Make the nightstand on the left taller and cute; the one on the right masculine. Alrighty then!
To make this taller I added some 4X4 legs underneath and then put moulding on the outside to cover the ugly wood chunks and add some "cute".

New knobs and paint, and here she is!
To make the nightstand below look okay in a boys room, the swirly bottom had to go. This was a much easier fix. I just added moulding over the swirls, and got rid of the old handles.
Sometimes I go in furniture stores just to look. I can't believe the prices people pay for stuff! It's CRAZY! Especially when you see what can be done for just a fraction of the money! And who doesn't love saving money?!

What kind of moulding did you use? Is it crown, base, floor? I didnt realize there were so many types until I went to lowes.com. I have 2 short nightstands I just bought and want to use yours as inspiration to make mine taller! Great post :)
