Campaign Chest Nightstand with DIY Metal Base

Yesterday, the very talented Sarah M. Dorsey shared at Infarrantly Creative how she constructed a metal base to turn a campaign chest into the perfect little nightstand for her bedside.

When you hear metal base, you may think welding is in involved. However, Sarah offers a simpler solution using strips of aluminum.

This is a brilliant way to add “legs” and height to a chest or even build your own coffee table like Sarah did last summer. Everything the girl touches is gold I tell ya!

Sarah was inspired by Ludlow Trunk Side Table from Pottery Barn.
