This caused a difference in color to the table top which after stained took on an interesting marbled appearance. Then I just used modpoge and paper using extra attention around the corners and in the end applied a finishing varnish. It was fun!

The proportions seem so different in the second photo, the legs even look like they got more tapered! Lovely work, in any case. I love the mottled wooden knob against the bright paper.

The 'before' has so much more texture and evokes that the piece has history. It looks a little too “cleaned up” for me. The ‘before’ has so much more texture and evokes that the piece has history.
