What about giving this old plant standa new look.This was a freebie.But it just doesn’t have that fresh beach house vibe that I’m going for.So I cut some beadboard panels to fit around the sidesand hammered off the metal flourishat the bottom of the stand.Now it’s shaping up.After base painting in a gray,I brushed over in semi-gloss whiteleaving random streaks of gray to show through.Then a little bit of sandingand a smidge of black glaze in a few placesand there you have it…a cottagey beachy feel.That will be such a nice complement to the sisal wrap.You can find more of my Painted Furniture Tutorials Here.Sand and Shells DresserTexture Blast TableIt was so nice to be here today and meet friends that have the samethrifty schemes to create fresh personality pieces!DebThanks Deb, you amaze me with your talent!Go visit Lake Girl Paints, you’ll be glad you did! 5Shares

Bliss says November 7, 2012 at 10:30 amI am definitely a fan of LakeGirlPaints. When Deb puts her brush to something the results are always wonderful. I’m making a mental note on covering the metal part of that stand…. I see those all the time at sales, how clever to cover it.BlissReply
