Heidi Ott lamp and antique drum nightstand

The antique drum nightstands were made from the round stands that came with my artist models, 1 1/2" x 1/8" wood circles and Houseworks 1 9/16" long spindles.

I painted them with a base coat of Tapioca by Folk Art then added an aging wash of light brown. I then painted the green vines, followed by red and yellow for the roses. I opted for doing mirror image painting so they would look more like a planned set than two of the same table. The knob is the fancy end of an antique copper headpin.

There's not much room on them for anything besides the lamps, but it all seems to work well together. Looks like grandma is going to have a glass of port and read for a bit.
