Heliane Ripley on Apr 05, 2015It has an elegant feel to it, so I would go with an satiny black with antic gold high lights.Helpful Reply

Connie on Apr 05, 2015You could re-veneer but that's a lot of work. I always feel hesitant to paint wood antiques but in some cases it doesn't make a lot of difference. It's a beautiful piece in spite of the damage. If you are keeping it then I guess you would want to paint to go with your decor. Do you want it to stand out or blend in might be a good place to start asking what you want out of the piece. Please re-post when you are done... Would love to see the results!Helpful Reply

Glm1160568 on Apr 05, 2015So many possibilities! I've seen almost this same piece painted out funky/whimsical like the Mackenzie-Childs pieces, painted solid colors to match your decor (any color) and then also in an off-white shabby chic or Chalk paint effect with some distressing. I've seen them used in dining rooms (as originally intended) or in living rooms displaying collections on them with buffet lamps at both ends adorned with a big beautiful mirror mounted on the wall in the middle above it. See what I mean...endless possibilities! Good luck and I know it will be wonderful!! Show us your results, please!!Helpful Reply

Lee Ann Perez on Apr 05, 2015I think it depends on the look of the wood under the veneer. Sometimes it's a hodge-podge of colors. I'd paint it if you're going to try to sell it. Black is my go-to choice these days. But the off-white or light grey pieces made to look "shabby chic" sell well.Helpful Reply

Marion Nesbitt on Apr 06, 2015If the wood under the veneer looks uniform, etc. then you have the option of staining - perhaps with two dif tones.Helpful Reply
