Hall Table II

I finally had a chance to work on the table some more! The top is pretty much finished now (I say pretty much because I might have a flash of inspiration and want to add to it). I've added several more colors and fleshed out the pine tree quite a bit.





Sorry, the colors don't show up exactly right on here, but it gives a general idea anyway.
Next I want to add a bit of a surprise inside the drawer- you'll see....

Hall Table

Several years agot I picked up this little hall table at a garage sale for $3-. The legs were loose and it was slightly the worse for wear, but I knew that it had potential.
Here's what it looked like when I brought it home:





I painted it with a couple of coats of cement grey, then started on the background for the painting on the top:




Once I finished the background I started on the next layer.











After that I added more values of the same hue:





Next I'll start adding more colors!
