A Bird's Nest


Good afternoon, fellow bloggers. It's a beautiful Thursday afternoon.  Sun is shining and it's not a blustery hot afternoon.  Well I have a project that I did a little while back and it's sitting at our cabin.  It was a square maple end table that needed some work on the top.  I forgot to take a before picture, but I'm sure one can remember the nice 70's square maple table it once was.  I had lightly sanded the table and then painted a coat of kilz on top of the wood.  I chose a white paint and than designed a bird's nest on top.  Why not?  Our cabin is surrounded by birds and nature, so why not bring nature in.  I than antiqued all the grooves and edges with a burnt umber acrylic paint.  Than I splattered burnt umber paint all over the table.  Here is a sampling of what it looks like:


 Here is my bird's nest with eggs.
 Here's a close-up of the distressing.


 Here it is sitting in my cabin with my funky lamp which is also vintage.
So what do you think?  Until next time, Dianne................
