I went to Cline's Antiques in search of a little plant stand to put near our front door. I wanted to add a pop of color and a little height to our entrance. This may look like an ordinary stand but it has a few unique qualities. It is primitive in a way, but not in others. The drawer bottom was actually cardboard when I got it. Joe helped me put a wooden bottom in the drawer when I refinished it. Also, there are metal rods for support that give it a uniqueness. You will probably be able to see those better in the "after" picture since I didn't paint them.
The first picture is of the stand at Cline's and the second is after I cleaned it up. It looked like someone had stained it reddish.
As you can see, I chose a vibrant yellow paint! Finally! A color! Clay actually helped me pick it out. Let me just give you a run-down of my selection process. I chose paint sample cards, picked a leaf off of a succulent, chose which color went best with the green succulent, then put all of those samples against my brick house to choose the best. What a process! Nothing is ever simple with me.
I planted a variety of succulent plants in the drawer. I wanted a nice overflowing look which I think I've achieved.
