In order to start updating the shabby bed, you should pull out all the boxes, remove accessories. Then all the details of cleaning the contamination, if necessary, carefully remove the existing detachments and sanding all chips. If initially facade and side parts were opened with a layer of epoxy resin, then the glossy coating is better removed. To do this, you can use a grinding machine or a special solution for removing the paintwork. Sometimes the construction hairdryer is heated and a hot layer is removed with a spatula or knife. If it is a layer of varnish, it will be enough to sand with ordinary grinding paper.
Important: Whatever cleaning method you have chosen, the entire coating process should be carried out in a well-ventilated room and in appropriate clothing. Also, we should not forget about the use of personal protective equipment - gloves, glasses and mask / respirator.

In the event that there are deep damage or explicit flaws, they need to be hidden using a special putty for wooden products. If all work is carried out in the residential room, it is recommended to use acrylic material, it practically does not smell. After the layer of the applied putty will dry well, the surface must be sanded and make it perfectly smooth. This is especially important on visible places, such as the facades of the boxes, a countertop and sidewalls, which will later be covered with paint.
Initially, a layer of primer is applied to all surfaces, and after drying, they are covered with several layers of paint of the desired color. | Photo: YouTube.com/ © Sultanin Oyuncak Atolyesi.
After all the surfaces are cleaned of dust and degreased, you need to progress them. In the event that it is planned to open the product with light colors, it is better to choose an acrylic soil white. When the primer dries, you can start painting parts by the main color. For these purposes, you can take both glossy paint and matte - it all depends on the preferences of the owner and the overall interior design. Because in this embodiment, two of the four boxes will be covered with a cloth, the last only brands.
Old handles can also be put in order. | Photo: YouTube.com/ © Sultanin Oyuncak Atolyesi.
At this stage should decide what to do with accessories. In this example, the handles for the boxes decided to simply paint into the main tone, and not replace them with new ones. For their staining, you should not even use a brush or roller, each item is better to dip in the desired paint and give extensive material to drain so that there are no amusements or frozen droplets.

Now you can make the design of the boxes to which the fabric decided to glue. For these purposes, a dense material is best suited, which does not give a shrinkage, but also does not stretch. Color you need to choose to taste, but so that the updated piece of furniture harmoniously fit into the existing situation. At the same time, it would be nice to consider the invoice, with such a technique of restoration, it plays not a last role: the brighter the drawing will be allocated, the more expressive the furniture will look.
For reliability, fasten the corners of the tissue with nails and can be installed accessories. | Photo: YouTube.com/ © Sultanin Oyuncak Atolyesi.
In this example, the cloth to the very facade was not glued, and only around the perimeter of the facade setup from the inside was the adhesive melt, using a special pistol. For strength only fastened wrapped corners with small nails. But in order to make this work qualitatively, it is worth listening to the advice of masters, which strongly recommend gluing the fabric completely and a dry way.
And this means that at first the surface is stuffed with PVA glue, it is time for drying, and then a generous layer of glue is applied again and a cut is applied. After the tissue tensioned tightly and it took the right shapes, the surface was dried using a preheated iron or a construction dryer (to accelerate the glue polymerization process), but on the back side it is possible to fix it as well as they did in the video.
It remains only to put boxes in place and the updated bedside table. | Photo: YouTube.com/ © Sultanin Oyuncak Atolyesi.
When the boxes are ready, it remains only to fix the updated accessories and set them into place. After that, the transfigured bedside table can occupy the place allotted in the bedroom or children's bedroom, but in the kitchen, in the bathroom or hallway boxes with fabric rates are better not to install.
