Step 6: Finishing

We decided to finish this bedside table with Ash wood stain.

Then we sprayed the 4″ corner brackets with chalkboard spray paint to give them that matte black look.

Finally, we installed the brackets using decorative nail heads. (Note: These clearly offer no structural support and could possibly be pulled off if you tried hard enough but we like the looks of it so we went with it.)
