What color should I paint this?

Bonnie on Jan 20, 2015Hi Lisa, this piece has the potential to be stunning...and I LOVE those door handles! Do you plan to leave it switched up the way it's standing in the photo, or did you just have the bottom shelving perched on top for painting? Brass legs, or are they wood? Formica will need a paint that's suitable for plastics, like Krylon paint, or it will peel off. And since you've already painted the inside a light turquoise blue, why not paint the outside surfaces a darker teal.....I think it would be fabulous! If the legs are brass, shine them up along with the door handles, or you could paint them black to look like wrought iron pieces. This would also give a spot of tie-in color with your black and white flooring. Be bold, be daring....it's only paint!! Make sure to take a picture to let us see how it turned out!!Helpful Reply

Connie Lester on Jan 20, 2015I had a set very similar to these and decided to make 2 separate pieces from them. I added legs to the piece with the doors and made it into a media center. Kept the other as a curio cabinet. Painted them 2 different colors.Helpful Reply

Sheryll S on Jan 20, 2015Hey, I think any shade of blue, cause it is my favorite, peaceful color...... but I can not answer, without knowing what it will be around and your dream of the finished room. Now if you painting it to sell.... I am not the person to ask. lol Some folks think wild, bright shades inspire them..... I personally like calming, soft, blues.... but let me know what you decide on?Helpful Reply
