Boy, has it been a long time since I have posted anything! It is not because I have not been busy creating, just not time to share.
Today's mission: Take a 'plain jane' plant stand and turn it into a lamp table for a sweet lady I work with.
After cutting about 4 inches off the legs, I added a new wooden 'skirt' around the sides cut from a thin sheet of luan. It seem to be begging for some type of ornamentation, so I added a little wooden embellishment to the front. I then sanded the whole piece in preparation for paint.
My friend had requested black paint, and I loved that idea, but I just can't leave well enough alone! I found a great design with my Silhouette that I thought would look perfect on the top. I painted the top first with white, added the design in vinyl, then did the black painting over the whole piece. When the paint dried, I pulled off the vinyl leaving the white design. To keep it from looking stark white with the black top, I lightly sprayed black paint over the white design. Hopefully she will like the table - but if she doesn't - Oh darn, I might just have to keep it!
