Stand remake...

Hi Everyone!  I hope your weekend is going well.  Mine is busy.  I delivered Odin's stand after work yesterday and my client loved it.  She was giving it to him later in the day.

Before work yesterday I started a remake of a little stand.  I got this stand 11 years ago when I was living in a small apartment.  It's a plant stand but I use it to hold a lamp in a dark corner.  Since I'm changing the colors in my studio, I also need to change the color of the stand.

Here's what it looked like this morning before I got started.  

 I cleaned the surface and then painted it with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in Louis Blue.

 Then when I got home from work I painted it in Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in Old White.  And lightly sanded the top and the sides.

 I applied both Louis Blue and Old White to the metal scrolls leaving a few spots plain so it looks like it had chipped off.  I decided not to do the whole base, just the scrolled areas.

I think it looks better and will definitely fit better in the dark corner of my studio.  Now I just need to repaint the lamp that resides on this stand.  I finished painting the walls for the second time last night.  I still need to paint the trim but I think I'll do that down the road.  Today I'm going to begin moving furniture around.  I still need to box up some of the items that I no longer have room for in the space.  I also have to move a large work table in that I made and paint it.  I have a very long to do list.  And the push is on because I have company coming a week from Tuesday and I want to have the majority of it done by then.  On that note, I need to get to work.  Thanks for stopping by.
