This weekend my wife tackled the painting. We chose a hard oil based paint.

Here it is, sitting on the base temporarily, after mounting the hardware.

I'll wait for the paint to harden before mounting the organizer to the top and the top to the base permanently. I also need to take some gold paint and highlight the 'singer' logo on the side of the base.
