You will need just a few supplies to complete this project: a plant stand, sand paper, painter's tape, three colors of paint, paint brushes, polyacrylic and a little bit of patience.

This is my before. A fairly plain, wood plant stand. Nothing to write home about. But with a little time and effort, it became really fun!

I share all the details as the the exact paint colors that I used for this project on my blog. So hop on over to see!

First I gave the entire plant stand a quick sanding and wiped it down. Then I painted it with my turquoise paint. After it was try I used delicate surface painters tape to tape off one side of my pattern. Because of the complexity of the pattern, you can only paint one half of the herringbone pattern at a time. You can see all the details of how I taped it off on my blog.
I used the yellow paint in the bottom two herringbone pattern spaces, the top two spaces were painted with my ivory paint, and the middle space was painted with a 50/50 mixture of the two paint colors. This gives the herringbone pattern an ombre color without a lot of work!

After one side of the herringbone pattern was painted and dry, I taped off and painted the other half of the pattern! Finish with a coat of poly to seal the project and your ordinary plant stand is now a fun and unique plant stand for your home!
