Here is another weekend project. I took this little plant stand that I had and decided it would be repurposed into a small bedside table. I made sure it was clean and then I took it outside to paint it.
I spray painted it using Rust-oleum's Painters Touch 2x paint in the same navy blue I used for the mirror the other day. That round thing under it is a Lazy Susan that I use for painting items, it makes it easier to rotate things as you paint them. It came out very nice and I couldn't have been happier.
Here it is in its new home! Because of the queen size bed on the small wall, there is not much space for a large piece of furniture like an end table. All we needed was a place for an alarm clock. So one plant stand, some spray paint, a crocheted doily and one wind up alarm clock later, we have an "end table" that fits the space and looks great.
oh my gosh, not only is the color great, the idea of turning that plant stand into a small end table is genius. thanks. Keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Yeah, I didn't need another plant stand and I did need something beside the bed. I love the blue too, it really came out exactly as I had pictured in my head, ha. Thanks again.
Deleteit looks perfect in it's new home - good job 1st Man!
ReplyDeleteyour friend,
kymber
thank you so much!
DeleteIt looks fantastic! You are making me want to redecorate my entire house, and I have neither the time nor the energy!
ReplyDeleteThank you....the time I understand, you have that amazing garden to tend to, but energy? Please, you probably have more than three or four of us put together!!! :-)
DeleteBeautiful! You really do have some nice ideas for using and decorating things!
ReplyDeleteWell thank you. It's all sort of new to me but I'm sharing as I do it! Please come back and visit!
DeleteLove it, love the color and that's a perfect little stand for what you need it for. Great idea. Hm, I have a plant stand I never knew what to do with, maybe I could just throw some paint on it too. ha.
ReplyDeleteIt's easy to do and can totally change a piece of furniture. And remember to just look at something and think of using it for something other than it's intended purpose. You can paint just about anything and make it good as new.
DeleteThat is such a pretty color blue and it matches your bedding perfectly. Great! I love your blog by the way, I ready it every single day.
ReplyDeleteI actually took a pillow sham with me to the store to find the best color blue.
DeleteThanks for the nice words about the blog. Come back, we love visitors!!
Looks great and is a perfect match! Go FM GO GO!
ReplyDeletethank you!!! You inspired me with some of your recent projects!!
DeleteAwesome as always!
ReplyDeleteLisa
Aww, you'll make me blush, ha. Thank you. AS ALWAYS!
DeleteVery nice. I have some furniture projects I so need to get back to!
ReplyDeleteIt's just been so hot outside, I figured I'd do some of this inside stuff. Of course, the painting has to be done outside. It dries fast though, that's one upside. :-)
DeleteUpside. Blah.
DeleteHa, yeah I guess depending on how you look at it. Some might consider that not an upside, lol.
DeleteSomething had to hold that clock! It wasn't going to hold itself up, was it 1st.
ReplyDeleteWell, I could have held it up, you know, until my arm got tired. :-)
DeleteI have just bought the exact same stand from a local charity shop - I'm intending to use it as a telephone table. I found your blog when seeking inspiration for how to paint it. Love the blue colour - its just downright regal. And the delicate contrast of the crocheted doily is a stroke of genius! Xx
