We built our daughter a nightstand many years ago and I love how it turned out but it is small and doesn’t have a any storage. So we decided it was time for an upgrade. After some looking around we decided on a simple design with two doors for storage below and a cool accent of cane on the doors. We were able to build this for her using one sheet of plywood and a few boards. Read on to see exactly how we did it.
