Decorating question........

Too much green?

I finally made a top for my cast iron workbench legs. The top is oak I salvged from donnage and is 2 1/4" thick. I probably should make a lower shelf too.This thing is heavy. The big problem I'm having is no where to keep it right now.

I really like the legs green, but I would paint the vise black. It will look nice with the legs and lamp green but I think with all the same it all just blends and I think you want some pop. If you are a Packers fan or John Deere you can go yellow on the vise.

That is a ******* **** bench top by the way.

Yes, too much green, sell it to me

Too much Green?Maybe....but I'd use it.And given a day in our fabrication shop and its gonna be cover'd with a nice layer of Gray.

Black is a "qualify'er",especially with Green.So If I was really goin Martha(Stewart) on it....just paint the lamp Black.

Yeah,its beggin for a shelf.

Looks great. Love it just the way it is.

looks perfect to me

That works fine if your walls aren't too dark.

You need to pinstripe the lamp. Black strips around the "beads" on it.

Where did you find the legs for that bench? Some old factory?
