New Nightstands + Bed Paint Color Selection

I picked up some snazzy nightstands for the front guest bedroom. They are lacquered black and have fab polished nickel hardware. I spotted them at Again & Again and just had to have them for myself. Here are some shots of one of them...



Since they are much more sharp and sophisticated than the old wood bed in the room, I've decided to give that a facelift with some auto body paint. I'm brainstorming colors now. First I considered mimicking the Farrow & Ball lacquer on this desk from Kimberly Ayres' office...

Might look sorta like this...

Other ideas...


Navy

Kelly Green

Yellow

Hot Pink

Any favorite colors? Keep in mind that the orange accent pillow can easily change! I thought about just doing ivory, but I want to do something bold and fun. Besides the aqua, I like the idea of doing a rich kelly green.

Also, you might have noticed that the rug is whited out. That's because I'm selling my suzani rug so that I can use a wider rug. I plan to put the suzani rug on Ebay or Craigslist soon, so email me (kylestandeferknight at gmail.com) if you're interested in purchasing it. It measures 65" x 94" and is hand-tufted wool...the price is $900 + shipping if applicable. Here it is in action...

Finally, what do you think of the nightstands? I really love them and they were a bargain. Thank goodness for Again & Again!

    I like where you going with this. I'd be leaning towards the aqua. Pretty, pretty!

    Yellow is my choice for the color of the bed. I think it's the best choice. Nice post.

    Love the nightstands. Really like the aqua. It makes the room look so soothing and relaxed, a great feeling for a bedroom.

    The kelly green jumped out at me straight away, really interesting colour combo with the orange. Either that, or the aqua. Either way, make it high gloss! :)

    Don't do it!! Too much painted wood in a room can look overwhelming. It looks perfect the way it is - know when to step back.

    To all who are voting to keep the wood unpainted...I've got to tell you that this really isn't pretty wood. It has a terrible finish on it and it's really not worth keeping around because it looks cheap. Sorry I didn't include a better photo of it so you could see what I'm talking about!

    I vote for the kelly green. It caught my attention even before I read it was one of your favs. Beautiful!

    I really love the first idea- the light aqua. Though I have to admit to also crushing on the hot pink idea. It would be crazy but awesome (and looks good with black.)

    I love the wood. Can you rub a new stain on it? It looks beautiful. I would change the color of the rug or pop new color on the pillows.

    The aqua is my favorite color for the bed!

    My vote? None of the above! I think you should paint the bed coral and keep your rug.
