revamp

I always love a revamp, especially to my workshop, the large tables I had were over 15 years old, and sadly marked and scrapped to death. I really wanted to freshen them up, so I spray painted them matt black and splashed splots all over them in purple, red and white gloss. They look awesome now, over time they will wear again, but I figure I will just sand lightly and repaint, each time is should look more and more grungy lol I pull out my large shelves too and sprayed them black too, my hands are so sore, from holding the spray can and nozzle (both hands as I used left and right) the black colour makes it seem so much more spacious, it is funny what black and white can do to our perception of space, and technically they are not colours lol I spend a lot of my day in my workshop, so making it inspiring is really a must, to keep up the process of work.
