Possible DIY Project

I love love love Anthropologie, but sometimes I flip through their catalogue and am completely shocked by the prices. Take this pretty darn awesome easel -

And for cool $2,100.00 it can be yours. . . INSANE!! What makes it even more crazy is that for under $150.00 you can make your own version -

All you need is a H-frame easel like the one above from Dick Blick and some paint. . . take said easel outside (or somewhere else that you don't mind paint splattering), attack it with a bunch of different paints until you like how it looks, let it dry, and then haul it back inside and use it to display your favorite piece of art. . .
