I love growing plants, you guys.  Some folk buy lots of shoes or bull whips or pets; I buy plants.  I have a whole gaggle of house plants in my apartment and window space is sparse so I picked up an old, ugly (yet functional) plant stand at a vintage market last fall. You can see it in action here.  I have had intentions to beautify it from the beginning but only got around to it last week.

Tools -

• Spray paint – I used a yellow gloss
• Interior satin – in a creamy matte to contrast with the glossy yellow
• Paint brushes for detail work
• Tape and newspaper for paint control

It took about 6 coats of yellow spray paint to achieve a uniform color.  Then a little patience and a steady hand for the trim.  I think the cream trim is adorable.  The whole thing came out Pleasentville as hell.  I really like the results.

Eat your hearts out,
