We picked this gem up from TradeMe today for $2.00!!!

We went with a Matt black top and plasticoted it so it doesn't damage when cleaned.

The legs were going to be white but when you peel away the tape you never know what it's going to look like - this time the original stained wood looked great.

To achieve this affect all you have to do is tape the section that you want original or to do later off. I always use newspaper and tape it just down from the original tape line to save on tape.  I sanded the top back as it was a bit rough but left the grooves of the woodgrain to give it a masculine look.


Black and Wood paired look great together, they can be added to a mans room or used as we have here to add a great effect to a room. If you are using in a lighter room decorate as we have here so it doesn't darken a space, if you are matching with blacks to achieve a more masculine look I would add blacks and stainless steels.
