I just picked up this brown set of vintage mid century modern bedside tables and can't decide on a color. They can really be restyled in any color or paint wash, but since I can't decide what to do, I thought I'd ask you all. What do you think? Pure White? Antique White? Antique White with French Toile Images? Grey? or Charcoal? Or another color I haven't shown here?

Look what happens when you take a vintage secretary desk from the 1980's, that was originally designed as a place to deal with correspondence, pay bills and provide a place for document storage, and you paint it in an antique white low VOC decorative paint and add classic and timeless French Toile images that depicts a repetitive pattern of country life, nature and mythology. It goes from simply being a functional piece of furniture to being a fabulous piece of furniture that can be used as an accent piece in your living room, bedroom or your home office!
DM for more information including dimensions, price and tips on how to incorporate a piece like this seamlessly into your home.

Thank you to everyone who responded to my previous post with respect to me asking for customer feedback on which finish people preferred on the vintage secretary desk I was working on -- the plain shabby chic finish like in the photo on the left -- or the shabby chic finish with french toile images -- like in the photo on the right.
Just to let you all know the shabby chic desk with the French toile images received the most votes, and it wasn't even a close call at 11 to 3.

I'm currently taking a break from working on my favorite style of secretary desk because I can't decide whether to restyle it in a plain shabby chic style -- like in the photo on the left -- or whether to embellish the shabby chic desk with french toile images -- like in the photo on the right. So I'm asking for your help. Which finish do you prefer? You can either leave a comment on this post or send me a DM with your thoughts and I'll let you all know the results at the end of this long weekend. Thanks for your help everyone!

If you’re looking for beautifully designed, solid wood furniture that you will never have to replace, restyled vintage is the way to go. It’s a fraction of the price of buying retail. Plus it’s one of a kind and there’s no tax. And it’s good for the environment too! Like this gorgeous set of nightstands with all the arcs and curves and style and stability that French Provincial is known for.
The tables have been sanded, primed and painted by hand with premium quality decorative furniture paint, embellished with florals and sealed for protection. And the drawers have been treated with lemon verbena furniture wax which not only moisturizes the wood, but also smells lovely.
Now just imagine this set, nestled in your space, amongst your other belongings, and each morning when you wake up, these pretty pieces of furniture will be the first thing you see.
Only one set is available. Pickup is just south of the QEW at Winston Churchill Blvd. right on the Mississauga / Oakville border. Delivery available with a fee.
Please note: The first photo is staged as well as one other in this listing. The rest of the photos were taken on my staging wall.
