the triangle table......

.....or jetson's inspired furniture....

 this is the most recent project i have been working on for my friend lisa....and yes, she has been keeping me busy for a while...(thanks lisa) 

 this triangle shaped table was in pretty crappy shape but the wood on the top of the piece was really pretty once i had it sanded down.  i don't usually sand down to bare wood because i usually paint the whole piece but the inlay style of the top was just too pretty to cover up.

 i love the mid-century modern style of this little table....so cool, so retro!!

 lisa wanted to use this piece in the same room she is going to have the green bench

in so she wanted it painted in the same eden green paint.  

 

(please ignore the crap on the floor...i'm not very neat when i'm working)
this time, i stained the top and sides of the top and bottom shelf with minwax jacobean wood stain...

 it really brought out the inlay pattern.

 she loves the distressed look so that is what i did to the paint on the bottom shelf.

she wanted the top to be a little darker so i mixed black paint and glaze and gave it another coat.  

with a coat of paste wax, it looks great.
