Part II: Nighstand Patina After Photos

A productive day to say the least.  I finally painted the nightstands I pictured in this post, cleaned the house, and made a new necklace!  The nightstands are a major improvement, but they're missing that je ne sais quoi and I think a little metallic Rub 'n Buff cream on the details will do just the trick.  But for now, this is how they look:

Not too bad, huh?  If only I could have taken the pictures during daylight they wouldn't be so fuzzy! Sorry.  And just for fun, here's the necklace...

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
