Using Placemats to Protect the Nightstand

I have a wooden nightstand that I like to put drinks on. I was always afraid if I spilled it, it would damage the wood. So, I had a thrifty idea, you can put a placemat on the nightstand.

This also protects it from scratches! This is a easy, fun, decorative way to protect wood from any harm you could do to it. Placemats aren't just for the kitchen any more!

I use salad plates, candy dishes and ashtrays--anything made of glass and china, wider than saucers and low-slung. You can find them for very little at thrift stores.

The more artistic they are, the better.

Regardless of what I use to protect my antique furniture, I always make sure the bottom layer is plastic

Brilliant suggestion. I was considering glass or acrylic or mirrors but then read this and magic transformation of 4 nightstands with 17 x 12 inch stylish beige vinyl placemats. And I already had them in my pantry. Thank you!
