To Paint or Not to Paint...

I have been gifted this dresser from my sister n law... originally from my in laws....
 
 
Before it arrived at my house I had marvalous dreams of painting it a fantastic color... maybe even painting the squares a different color...
 
 
It will be residing in our guest bedroom, possibly Emily's future big girl dresser...
 
But once I actually saw it in person I started to question it....
 
Its pretty big...
 
And alot bulkier than the dainty looking peices in the pictures above...
 
Its a nice dark color that already matches our current furniture style and actually in pretty good condition.
 
I am questioning my original idea of painting it a pale blue greenish color...
 
Im nervous...
 
I decided to start with just spray painting the handles silver
 
It already makes a huge difference.
 
 
But now I am not sure where to go....
 
I really like the two-toned look...
 
But what colors?
 
Do I paint the inner squares?
 
Or just outline them like the first one?
 
 
Please... send me your suggestions!!

  1. hmm, I definitely think you should paint it. I prefer the one tone, but I also like the neutrals (grey/whites/tans)....can't wait to see what you decide to do with it!

  2. I love the paint/outline idea. But whatever you decide I can not wait to see the final piece!!
