Habitat - Indoor :: Advice

[Karawr]

I recently built an ATBA (well, my mom's bf did) and I don't know if I want to keep it it's natural colour (wood) or paint it black. Suggestions?

The actual basking area hasn't been made yet. We will be taking out the dock and making something later. I am hoping to do something with real wood for a more natural feel. I also want to get some fake plants to decorate the inside and make it more natural. I don't plan on painting the inside (just the outside).

Unfortunately, there are no plans to make a stand. I do plan on sewing a black skirt together, though, to hide all the junk underneath.

PS. Sorry for bad quality, taken late at night with iphone. And sorry for messy room. I've gotta clean it up!

I think the natural color looks ok. But since I have photoshop open, let's see...

Nice PS skills steve.

I like the black as it matches the stand.

If you do however decide to keep it natural, put a finishing coat on that wood to seal it...like a water based poly.

It's the limit of what I can do @ 5am
