When in Doubt, Paint it Black

I am in such a 'paint it black' phase. You may have seen my Chippendale chairs going under the black spray paint can on Instagram, well I haven't stopped there. I have a little army of furniture pieces standing in line to join the group.

"Every room needs a bit of black", as they say. By the way, I can't find the original source for this quote.....anybody?

Do you have a bit of black in every room in your home?

Before you click away, I need your help. I have had this wooden dog in my garage for fifteen years. I found him at a London Flea Market, and could not resist him. Actually, I was looking at him when the seller said with a deep British accent, "Go on then, tell me what it is you want to pay".

I think it may be time to paint him...and even bring him inside. I love this one that I saw on {Flair} Vintage Decor.

But I can't figure out what breed he is. What breed do you think my wooden dog was modeled after? What color should I paint him?

Opinions Please

You may remember that I was looking for a vintage Regency piece for my ORC entry?

Well, here she is. I found it on Craigslist...of course. There is a carrera marble top for it that I moved to a safe location. This is where I need your help. I am not sure what color to paint it.

Since the walls will be white, or close to it.....I have an almost unlimited palette to chose from. So I need your help.

Here are some colors that caught my eye.

As you can see, I'm all over the place.

Do any of these colors speak to you? Any other suggestions?

I'm Feeling Minty

So, maybe it is the all the blog posts showing mint...or summer....either way....I am feeling the love for mint! In fact, that dresser dilemma of mine....I think it should be mint.

Maybe I should sit back and have a mint julep and ponder a while....
