layers

I always think that paint can really do a lot for an old piece of furniture! In the case shown above I found a small table at the goodwill that had seen better days. The table's legs were no longer attached properly and what was one time wood, had been spray painted several shades of gold in a very unprofessional blotchy way. The wood on the top of the table was showing through the paint where the table had been water stained and had swollen. Seeing the potential I took the small table home with me. I fixed its legs, sanded it down and began to give it a new coat of paint. As I was freshening up the table I began to fall in love with the pattern that the wear on this table took. The water damage formed a sort of cross and when I had sanded out the swollen parts of the wood this made the cross even more noticeable. I had begun painting the table from the ground up and before I knew it the table had created itself. A fantastic piece of art that has so many layers of stories untold.
