Some Cursory Doodles for a New Piece!



So, I picked up a new {old!} piece from the market this weekend and have been thinking about some ideas for finishing it.  This is what I've come up with so far...

The first set of doodles leans more towards a more modern geometric design whilst the second is a slightly more whimsical design created with a dotted leaf stencil.  

The idea with the first design is to allow some of the wood underneath to show through, so the stripes and triangles would be taped off and the body of the piece painted in one colour.  The decision to go with this option will, of course, depend on how well the wood sands back.

With the second set of doodles, the idea there is to use a dotted leaf stencil a little like a {loose} paisley design/pattern, starting more densely at the bottom and opening out towards the middle but stopping from about a third to a half way up with perhaps some loose leafs flying around.

Decisions, decisions.

What do you think?  Option 1 or Option 2?  Don't be shy!
