Ok. I got a TV stand from a recovered hotel furniture shop in the valley. What I didn't know (but, should have) was that it was plastic. It wasn't until I had painted it three times, trying to find the right color that I decided to strip it down to the bare "wood". That's how I found out that it was plastic. The next step, after my arm stops being so sore from the 4 hours of striping that gosh darn piece of furniture, is to spray paint primer it and paint it a gorgeous red.
Here are some pictures of the stages the piece has been through so far and sooner or later I will show you how it finishes.

| How it looked when I bought it. |
How it looked after I painted it and glazed it in moss. **BLEGH!**
 |
| Tried it in gray with a dark gray glazing but my paint wouldn't stick to the high gloss white. |
 |
| After striping it, it still needs a lot of work. |
 |
| UGH, STILL A MESS AND PLASTIC?! |
I'm going to try to catch up with you all on Wednesday. I am so bad with schedules. :/
