Best Dressed Chests

via

Let's talk about painted dressers.

With my antique business

we are always selling dressers,

nightstands, desks,

and chests of drawers.

Many pieces 

have great lines and strong bones, 

 but the old wood stains and finishes 

are scratched or marked

so they must be painted.

(Refinishing and stripping is too costly.)

With that being said, 

may I ask you to weigh in

and look at these choices

 and could you kindly tell me

if you had to buy a dresser 

for a room in your home today

would you consider 

a painted one ---

and if so, 

what is the color 

YOU would choose?

Taupe dresser from TheInvitingHome here

Here is a gray one from Overstock.com

Off white or ivory is always an option -- via 

Does Robin's Egg blue do if for you? via

Lovely white one from here

Black dressers are handsome. This one via

So would you pick:

taupe

ivory

black

robin's egg blue

white

or gray?

Or is there another shade

that I have not offered to you?

PLEASE let me know what you would buy!

It will help me the next time I run 

to buy a quart of paint 

to bring new life to an oldie but goodie.

Thanks in advance for your input!
