Adding Legs to Furniture aka Franken-Furniture

As I have mentioned a few times {cough cough} while working on the Room Service Atlanta project I have been on a severe budget!  While a majority of the items have been donated or were from my personal hoard collection, I couldn’t come up with a nightstand that was the right height, width, shape, depth, price… well anything.  So I got really really creative.  So much so that this project could have easily been a disaster.  I thought it was worth the risk though…
I started with some Nesting Cube Tables I have had for years.  They have been side tables, shelves & plant stands, but have never really suited any of the locations they have lived in & have always been a tad awkward.  I have tried painting them, adding nailheads… nothing seemed to work in our space.  Hence the reason they had been banished to our crawl space.

After taking inventory of the items I had left, the idea struck me to use the largest one as a nightstand.  It was the right depth & width, the price was right… free, the only problem was, it was 7″ too short.  Why not add legs?!?

I found these from Lowes.com & scooped them up.
As soon as they arrived I drilled four holes into the base of the largest table, added a little Gorilla Glue for added stability & painted my Franken Furniture to give it a consistent look.
My cube table had a solid base originally which helps to create a finished look.  I was nervous it would look disjointed, but once it was all the same color I was really happy with the results.
One of my favorite elements of the table was that I left the nailhead trim I had started a year ago in.  I decided to simply paint over it.  It gave an almost hobnail effect which I am loving!
I can’t wait to get it in the space & style it up for real next to the bed!
Love this red! 
Would you ever consider adding legs to existing piece of furniture?  Or have you ever created any Franken-Furniture?  I’d love to hear about it!
