A thrifty find and a peek at our house

So I found the sweetest little chair at Good Will yesterday. 
I was searching through the furniture and there she was...
Like an old washed-up beauty queen from the 80's. Too much blue eyeshadow and a bit...wider... than the other younger, slimmer gals.
She was blue, painted over red, painted over lots of kid's stickers. Here's after I started tackling it all with some cream colored paint. I didn't have any primer handy but this did the trick, after two long coats. All those curved spindles took forever. 


I think she's going to fit in just fine around here. 
But I've only left her cream out of laziness. I want to paint her a fun color or maybe do stripes on the seat, but I'm not sure what to do yet. I was going to ask for your opinions, but I realized you don't know what my house looks like so it would be hard to pick a color. So here's a few snippets of our downstairs...living room, dining room and breakfast nook.












So what color would you pick for my chair?
Blue? Gray? Green? 
xoxo

  3. If people are wondering where all my musical gear, sports equipment, or any sign of manhood is... well... I have a small corner in the closet just for me. I admit I share it with Disney movies.
