the finishing touch....

i glazed the buffet but i'm not sure about it.....  (click to enlarge)

here it is in it's space before i glazed it.  little stinkers ran in front of the camera just as i was taking the picture.....and i couldn't wait to put my halloween decorations on it...

here is a close up of the door.

and here is the glazed version

which looks okay on the doors.
but
when i looked at the entire piece

i kinda freaked out and felt that it just looked dirty.

the leg on the left has not been glazed yet

i do like how it brings out the detail in the grooves but the drawers bug me.
soooooo, what i think i'm going to do is water down some of the original color and lightly wash some of  the color back in....

what do you think?? should i leave well enough alone or lighten it up a bit?

it looks so different than when i first brought her home, remember?
from this..
