Such a charming room! I like your inspiration picture.

Another idea is Benjamin Moore historic colors. I think any would work great here, they’re all beautiful.

(ETA: This cabinet is BM Hale Navy.)

Please update us! :)

@jinx thanks so much for taking the time to respond - I absolutely love that blue you posted! I’m going to look into that one now.

I love it too. Then you can get a piece of art that has a bit of that tone in it and call it a day.

My pleasure! :) I forgot to say that the blue cabinet is BM Hale Navy. I love it, too!

Wow, Melissa R - I can’t thank you enough for taking the time to mock those up for me! Seriously, you made my day! I’m usually good about having a vision in my head and really seeing what it will look like, but I’ve been struggling with this one. I think because that built in has been white forever. Your mock ups are incredibly helpful!

If you want to stay In the 20’s style, this is a fun read on what S.W. has to say about color of the time.

You haven’t mentioned a rug. I suggest you find your rug first and then paint the corner cabinet. Paint th cabinet two-toned
