Sharon, this is the coffee table I did with DIY chalk paint and then poly stain on the top. -

I love painting old furniture. That is one of my specialties. -
Mary I. , that turned out beautifully! Thanks for sharing. -
They are all gorgeous, so you can't go wrong which ever one you choose. I like the red one (aged, soft) & the black & white one (sleek, more modern). Which room is it destined to live? I think it would depend on where it is going and the decor of that room. -
OH my WORD!!!! I just want to find a place for every piece! -
Beja I'm having the same problem since I've been on my chalk paint craze. I find cheap nice things on Craigs and paint them and I have no room for them at all. Right now my sun porch has 4 eand table and 2 coffee tables! I have to sell them before we open the room for the summer.

Jen R , it's going in our master bedroom. The colors in there are light gray with a charcoal gray accent wall behind the bed, bedding and desk in there is white, and there are a couple touches of black.

I like the punch!

I'm more of a blue/green guy! -
the teal is beautiful! -
I like the original myself but if I was to choose one of the painted ones, I would go with the blue... I worked refinishing antique furniture for about 10 yrs so I like the natural look -
I think the blue would be best too but it appears that the finish does not look bad the way it is. I guess if you have a lot of furniture refinishing like Deb and I have done and know how much work goes in it, it is difficult to slap paint on it. -
My favorites are cornflower blue or sage green. -
A pale yellow might look nice against the gray walls of your bedroom -
the blue one -
I'll definitely go with the black and white with vintage wall paper on the background. I love it :-) The top drawer has nice curves to match you vintage design -
Love all the ideas and suggestions, thank you!

I'm leaning toward the blue -
I went with the blue! I'll post pictures when it's done. Thanks so much everyone, it was great to hear all your input. It really helps to put together an inspiration board or post like this to help you narrow down what you really want.

The craigslist dresser, the one to the right? We just found the EXACT same one at goodwill today, old casters and all! Hubby is sanding it now and Im looking for fresh ideas here, and guess what! I found some great ones! -

Oh please!!!!! And thank you! We do need to fine a couple lock inserts, someone took 2 of them. It is dated 1921 on the back.

Cool, I love that it's got the date.
