apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

it could be great if refinished in a white gloss. It could be very Kelly Wearstleresque.

Michael, I was just going to post the same thing. Although I was thinking it would look glossy good turquoise or like Hermes orange.

I hate this piece they way it is, but I could see Turquoise staining this glossy black and adding a mirror to the top.

I agree!!! I was going to say swap the base, lacqure in an ivory gloss and you've got one nice little lovely.

haters, dont be so square.

If only I lived in a cathedral, I could give it the home it deserves!

I think it could be redone to look really cool.

For example, I'd tear off the dated base and attach a cool brushed steel base. Then I'd restain it an espresso color. I might add something to the sides, like thin brushed steel sheets placed behind the decorate wood panels. Or, perhaps you could place something semitransparent behind the wood panels and place a light inside to create a cool glow in the room.
