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!

Walls

Getting a few things hung on the walls finally...some of my favorites are from the Temple of Flora book I got from Stanley Korshak last year. Thanks to Clay's friend Jeremy for doing such an awesome job on the framing! He framed 21 of them for us and they are all perfect. We have them sprinkled throughout the house.

Still need to change the curtains...unfortunately the ones I'm going to use are still hanging at our old house in a futile attempt to keep it looking semi-ok :(Some of the black and white prints from the book...I adore these!
FINALLY painted the entry...the color turned out nice, however, if I can force myself to pick up the paintbrush again, I'm going to paint it with black chalkboard paint!

We have had this mirror for almost 2 yrs and it has finally been hung. Captain Procrastination (aka JCK) finally bit the bullet. Whoops...I think we hung it a little high!
Moved the suzani rug in here even though this whole set-up is temporary since Clay's parents are gifting us a new table/chairs.
