    Beautiful piece! I would paint it an off white, one with a hint of gray...paint the accent parts with a dusty charcoal, then use a dark gray wax. This would make it exquisite! File folders might work to slip between the glass and the frame...then tape into place.

    There are so many paint techniques you could use on this, such as the one mentioned by Jeanette above, that the world is your limit. It would help to know your decorating style.

    Have you seen this on Pinterest: http://www.pinterest.com/pin/241364861251729142/ Truly, choose a color you love and that will coordinate with the rest of the room. I love the bold purple on this frame, but if you prefer a bright teal blue or turquoise or hot pink, or whatever, go with what you love.

    Buy some Annie Sloan paint and paint it. You don't have to prep the wood - no sanding nothing. After painting you use her wax and believe me it will be gorgeous.
