Whoa! That would look so key if you painted it white...pretty please!?

If the rest of the build is of the same quality this will be one to watch!

I feel the pressure now

White ties into my kitchen very well and if I go white I will be trimming the top of the stand with 1" maple tight to the tank (same as the kitchen cabinets) I am not sure if white is the right color though, a big white stand may be too much - I'm not sure, another consideration is charcoal.

Suggestions anyone?

Very nice job on the stand, as for color, Rustoleum makes a texture paint that comes in a couple different colors, would make it look like granite, close to the charcoal you are thinking.

Thank you,


The texture paint is not my thing. The last time I used it if I remember correct it is a rough surface that tends to flake off. I am looking for a smooth painted surface just debating on the final color.

Here is a pic of a stand from one of the members here, this was one of my inspirations

I like the color.

the top and bottom molding is store bought, all other trim work was done with 3/4" soft maple and a router.
