Hi Jenny, Clay and others who might have seen the pictures of my new lace stand. I was able to get the pictures up on the website and then have just not had the time to sit at the computer to write and explain about it. Currently my mom is here visiting from Dallas and between showing her the island, two daughters in high school participating in 4 different sports and obligations/entertaining with my husband's job, well, the days seem to end with an unfinished "to do" list. But about the lace pillow stand.... Several months ago I asked the list for ideas, likes and dislikes regarding a lace pillow stand. Kenn, particularly was helpful in sending his ideas. We have a large home here but limited storage space. I also have a friend who owns a mill and furniture factory in the Philippines and brings furniture into Guam regularly-along with some other neat items. I had mentioned that I needed a stand to store my pillows on and she told me if I could draw up what I wanted, then she would have one made. When I showed her the drawings and she saw the cabinet on the bottom, (I wanted that for storage and stability) she mentioned that her cousin is a woodcarver and she would have him carve a nice design into the doors. So, we sent the drawings off and I crossed my fingers that we all had the same ideas for the finished product. Last week the container finally cleared customs and was off-loaded. I was holding my breath as it was unwrapped but as you can see from the pictures it turned out beautifully. It is slightly bigger than the plans I drew up-by about 4 inches in depth and width but as it is, even with my largest pillow on it one can't walk by and bump a pillow off. I had the top slats mounted flush with the frame so that I can put multiple items up there. The lower shelves have the slats mounted flush with the bottom of the shelf so it becomes recessed and the pillows sit about an inch down inside the shelf-can't be pushed off by nosey cats! The cats checked it all out the first day and haven't given it a second look, thankfully. Anyway, that's the story of my stand. I'm very pleased with it. It's a bit more of a major piece of furniture than I had originally envisioned but it's so pretty that I don't mind. Now if I can only find time to pull one of the 3 pillows off that have UFOs on them....
