The Quiet Girl

 In my living room, I decided that I wanted all my tables to have glass tops. I like the clear, often shimmering look of glass to put my coffee on when I'm watching TV, and I like to see the glass reflect the light and cast a prism somewhere in the room. I have completed buying furniture for my living room. I have 2 end tables, one that my record player is sitting on, and one that sits besides my loveseat. I also have a coffee table, with two glass pieces. All three were found at thrift stores for $15 and under each.  I know I want to paint my living room tables black, since I am very particular about natural wood and I enjoy modern style and Swedish furniture. I may or may not paint my record player end table, I'll see. I decided the first table I wanted to do was the end table beside my loveseat. Here is a picture of what the table looked like before, when Shadowfax was drinking out of her beloved water dish:  Here is what it looks like now. 

 I haven't done an art post in quite a while. I will begin again. When I moved, I decided to buy used Goodwill furniture that I could paint and make my own. I found a pretty cool, country-looking table one day and decided it would be perfect for Shadowfax's room. It was originally a glossy brown finish. To go with the Halloween themed colors of the room, I painted it black with purple stripes. Here is the finished look!
