KMS Woodworks · Answer

I have always been a fan of 'earth tones' so your chocolate browns may work well with a two tone for this piece...perhaps a darker base color with some distressing that will allow it to show through.  For the top a light cream to cappuccino color

How about a nice deep Orange?

Sandra aka Blondie · Answer

Both are excellent ideas.  A POP of color would brighten the room tremendously.  I've never considered orange (being from Aggieland).  But a deep orange might bring interesting contrast.  Just don't tell any of my Aggie friends...lol

This sounds like something right up Shabby Daze alley or Janet w/Empty Nest. They both do a lot of furniture rehab work and produce some pretty amazing results breathing new life in to what others might think was beyond redemption!!

Sandra aka Blondie · Answer

Hello All... and thank you again for your input.  I'm about 90% sure I'm going to go with the DC gray.  I think it will offer a nice contrast to the chocolate brown sofa, loveseat, and recliner; as well as the blue curtains and pillows.  I will actually have about 3 other small tables that I hope to paint the same color.  Will update when I get around to actually working on the project.

Blue, gray and brown make a beautiful mix of colors. Good choose. But I agree, pictures speak louder than words. Good luck!
