    Nothing wrong with painting wood furniture in my book. Paint is beautiful. Nice job!

    Beautiful color combination! The style of the nightstands is fairly timeless; it was smart to salvage them!

    Great work!

    Cor - I struggle with some of my decisions on these forums, and especially how much to show in a picture of one's home. I like the warmth of your first picture. As neither shot shows the 'big picture' you will be the judge as to whether it works or not.

    I’m not sure why anyone would’ve discouraged you in the first place, quite honestly. Good for you for not listening!

    Looks totally fabulous! I love the color combination. I also agree with Sammy. Why would anyone discourage this????

    I'm probably one of those who would have said, don't paint.
    I'm still of the same opinion, but happy for you, if you're happy...
    not my style.

    Looks great. I love that look. It really updates the look with still being wood toned. Perfect!

    I think it looks good both ways, just depends on the rest of the room. The important thing, is that YOU love it.
