Little things that make a difference: bedroom decor refresher

Our bedroom is the least finished room in our house.  Although our bedroom is not the beauty we hope to have someday, it is a major improvement from what existed when we moved in!  We recently added a diy headboard (courtesy of my dad- more on this project later), a bedskirt, a painting (courtesy of my mom), and a new-to-us antique chair which in total have made the room more pulled together and cozy.  The new look cannot be appreciated without seeing the humble beginnings of our bedroom...

{It was awful!  Fake wood paneling, low ceilings, & previous owners who painted around an area rug!}
{So we took matters into our own hands and gutted the room}
{In progress}


{With the bedskirt, headboard, & picture it definitely looks more finished...please don't notice the nightstands I still haven't revamped} 

And one final addition in the corner of our bedroom that will be getting a makeover of it's own very soon...

Distressed Patina Nightstand Revamp

Our vintage carrera marble top nightstands are preparing for a makeover.  But we're struggling to decide what color to finish and distress to use on the wooden base.  Our bedroom is a medium grey right now (soon to be white), so my thoughts for finishing the base of the nightstands are distressed, french grey or distressed white.  Here are the nightstands along with some photos of paint colors and finishes being considered.  We need your help!!

Should we consider a distressed french grey?

Or a distressed white finish?

 


Please share your opinion and if you have suggestions for another color or finish, please share that too!!  
Merci! Alicia
