Antique drum nightstands

I've been thinking awhile on the type of side tables I wanted for the Heritage bedroom. With the ornate bed and feminine vanity and chair, I needed something with antique style while not being overpowering.
My artist models came with round wood bases and metal pins to hold them up, though they stand on their own just fine. I removed these bases when I first got the models, but I kept them since they were smooth round wood shapes...and I knew they would make a fabulous trash to treasure project some day.
The bases measure 1 3/8" in diameter and 9/16" tall. I grouped them with 1 1/2" x 1/8" wood circles and Houseworks 1 9/16" long spindles. I glued two circles to the top and bottom of the base and added thin veneer strips to delineate a front drawer.
For now, I've just pushed the legs into place. I need a clear head and a steady hand to get these glued in straight and even since I like the tables without cross supports.
The pillows were made by me, and Mr. Rabbit is by K. Kuti. I still haven't replaced the stock bedding that came with the Bespaq bed I'm in the process of refinishing. With some fancy painting and antique knobs, the nightstands will fit right in!
