Anyway, I know I liked Liz's suggestion to paint the bad part and leave the rest in the oak finish. You could use a flat gray-black or a color to match some accent in your room. Polish up the brass and it would be stunning. And later, less re-painting because the oak can be maintained more easily than paint.Granny Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01129064020727041161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3198642533840030075.post-2341257004965572952013-03-11T21:06:30.429-04:002013-03-11T21:06:30.429-04:00I am a terrible one for deciding on colors, for my...I am a terrible one for deciding on colors, for my own stuff, but for other people I know just what they should do. :) I think it would look cool in a buttery yellow or a deeper yellow, with a little age to it. Good luck with it.

Part of the piece is left with the original wood finish, and part painted.
