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. :-(
