So What Do You Think?

I'm the proud new owner of this gem!


(A quick pic at the estate sale)

I love the lines (and that brass detail is killer!!), but the color is a bit dull. So that's where you come in....

What color would you paint this piece? I'm open to pretty much anything right now and would love to hear your suggestions. Leave a comment and if I love your idea, you might just see your idea as the after!

Happy weekend! Anything fun planned?

  2. I kind of bought it for the future (design hoarder, what?!) so I don't have a spot in mind. But I'm envisioning it in a lovely hue by the front door to welcome me home everyday in my next place!

  3. In that case I say you go for a pretty blue, maybe something like Mrs. Limestone's console?

    (Although to be honest my first thought when I saw it was PINK!)

  4. I have no idea what your color palette looks like, but I think it's look really funky and a little retro if you painted it chartreuse.

  5. I know it might be too much of a color but I am on an orange high. So I vote orange. I am also jealous, there I said it.

  6. I like a coastal theme....maybe like a birch wood color and some blue/orange items on top?

  7. I'm thinking shocking pink! Or if that's too much then a beautiful Chinese lacquered red. Great find! I love it.
