Because Bachelor Parties Make Me Bored...

So Jake had a bachelor party for his cousin Ryan yesterday. He's getting married on Friday and we are so excited for him and Danica, in fact, I'm so excited that me and Danica said forget cousins-in-law. Let's be sisters! So it is what it is. Anyways, so I knew I would be bored without Jake to keep me entertained. So.. I remembered this...

The cutest indoor planter ever, but I decided that I wanted to put a twist on it.So, I searched KSL months ago and found this baby... It was 10 bucks for this and 1 other table that would be perfect for Jakes room. so $5 bucks.

Well, last night I decided to transform this little piece of magic. First, I cut the top out with a jig saw. I left a little more a margin in the front because it had very supportive wood that I didn't want to cut through.

Then I wanted to sand it, but, I couldn't find the sandpaper so I went ahead and spray painted it anyways, bad idea. The top was super rough and I ended up having to sand through my new paint job when Jake got home to find me the sander. Darn my impatience. 

Anyways, it had this little nob that was rather ugly, but I painted it gold and now it's ugly in a quirky way.

The bottom the of the legs had some gold metal right on the very bottom, I figured I would just repaint them gold and went ahead and covered them up with the spray paint and got painting them gold... Another bad idea.

Ugly, I didn't like the way it looked. But luckily I had some "Ooops" I removed the ugly gold paint, the black spray paint and got me back to my original shiny gold. 

This is how it turned out so far... 

And this is my vision for where it goes, and a crappy photoshop job of some plants.

Anyways, that's what I did last night.
