I know white comes to mind but you may also think of gold color with a tea stain or gold as the first coat,put vaseline on the areas where you want to distress then paint black over it and the gold will show through on the areas where you put the gold.You should always have a touch of black to pop in every room.{someone told me that} But it's a great table you can't go wrong! Thanks for the comment on Stanley! Congrats on your new pup!Tiedupmemorieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03483661588550064446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2551039893085903284.post-27707083021957244992010-05-28T10:38:06.343-04:002010-05-28T10:38:06.343-04:00Yes, Kim, you are DEFINITELY a POUNCER!!!

I know lots of people love to paint furniture, but personally I would leave it as it is. I love wood tones, and especially with that carving. If it doesn't work in your house I could make it work in mine.

Hope you linked up to Thrifty Thursday, I havent gone through them all but this IS a thrifty find. Of the week for sure!<br />Ok, I want this, but since its in your home and I dont know where you live lets see....<br />I really love it natural. If you do paint it I would go with a white glaze so you can still see the wood grain. It really is gorgeous. I hope you can fingure a spot to keep it together. It really is a match made in Heaven. <br />Lucky you!!!!!Leigh of Tales from Bloggeritavillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01501269563354107349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2551039893085903284.post-86902765275040952532010-05-27T20:00:51.301-04:002010-05-27T20:00:51.301-04:00OMG! $10.00 was a steal!
