I brought this home from the GW the other day. I went, innocently enough, to drop off some things. Couldn't help going in (you know how that goes, right?) Of course, left with more than I dropped off!
When I pulled back into the loading lane to pick up my treasures, the guy looked at me, then did a double take. "Weren't you just here??" Yep, I was :)
I decided to go out of my comfort zone on this one, and try some color. I'll admit, I was nervous when the paint went on. Holy Carolina Blue! No offense, CP & CAT, but that wasn't the look I was going for.
Sanded the top down...
And, here it is! I used the RL tobacco glaze, which really toned the color down, and I love the result! The top is stained in antique maple, something I haven't used before either.
The top is still wet in this picture...
thanks for coming by!
