Joyce Petit on Mar 31, 2014I would probably paint it one color and then do some kind of a simple mosaic design on the top or around the edges.Helpful Reply

Diane Coakley on Mar 31, 2014This is a great little magazine-holder table! Paint it white, add your magazines like Better Homes and Gardens, sit a vining potted plant on top and place by your favorite reading chair!Helpful Reply

Tana, Little Red Bag Productions on Apr 01, 2014The geometrical shape in the profile of the piece is interesting. Perhaps you can build on it... Maintain the natural wood surface and the two strips of wood on the side which join the two pieces together. Personally, I would paint the container on the bottom its own colour and the remainder different. The colours of course, would depend on which hue of stain you may select for the surface. Black and white is always sharp but there are so many choices! Perhaps choose a side to be the front and apply something personal like a stencil or monogram? Have fun with it!Helpful Reply

Heather on Apr 02, 2014I am a huge fan of two tone pieces! I just painted a desk gray and white. Here is a pic of my desk ( http://blissfullychicdiy.blogspot.com/2014/03/my-new-desk.html ). But I think it really depends on what else you have going on in the room its going in. :)Helpful Reply
