Project Piece


I've been getting a little burned out and overwhelmed by the home improvement projects so I decided to do a tiny project to get as close to instant gratification as I could.

I found this rickety rattan & wood stand at a yard sale for $10.  I cleaned it and sanded it down.  I tightened all the screws. 
Then I painted and stained it. I wanted to experiment with milk paint and this seemed like a safe enough item to work on. If it was a disaster, well, it didn't cost me much.

It turned out way better than I expected.  
I also made cloth covered inserts for the drawers to make it a little nicer. Now it will have a new home with my son and his girlfriend in their new apartment. 

It only took a few days.  It would have been just a few hours if not for waiting for three coats of stain to dry.  Okay, now back to doing all the stair rails in the house.  :-(
