Creative Crafting - Furniture Art!

We've had these very inexpensive IKEA bedside tables for several years now and I've always intended to paint them and make them a bit more special.

Now, since Miss Busy has asked me to paint her new (pre-loved) desk, I thought I'd have a practice first, using my bedside table.  Here's how it went!

1 - sanded lightly.

2 - painted with primer

3 - painted base colours

4 - worked base colours in to each other so there was a gradual gradient between colours

 5 - started painting my design...

6 - added all the finishing touches to create my bedside table art!

 I'm quite pleased with it for a first attempt and look forward to showing you the desk next!
