Project: Gilded Stumps

I came across these beautiful stumps while we were in Oklahoma visiting family and couldn't resist bringing them home.  I wasn't sure what would be the end result of this "stump redo". . . side tables?  table top decor?  But I knew they were perfect and were bound for Dallas. . . 

After some dusting and prepping (though I left all the quirks), we went to work spray painting them.  They would be terrific in glossy white, turquoise or even orange. . . but after my recent gold bamboo coffee table purchase, I knew a warm metallic was perfect.  It was so easy - we just gave the stumps several coats of the metallic spray paint, let them dry for a few days and then sprayed with sealer.  Now, here they are in their new spots. . . I think they bring are the perfect layer to my 60s lamps and metallic bamboo table and shag rug to top off the collected, boho feel I was wanting.  Just enough of the unexpected to really make me happy.  

Next to my favorite houndstooth chair.
