As long as the gray gives some sort of contrast to the existing gray pieces, I would say go for it. But it really stings to paint walnut!!

I noticed the painted gray piece. Beautiful looking piece.
The paint vs stain argument.
Our open plan has the dining area next to the family area.
We have an Amish stained dark oak dining set close to a Stickley Mission Chair, with a light reddish stain.
The Stickley Mission chair, with matching ottoman is our showpiece. We also have a Stickley sofa and 5 ft. Stickley ottoman with prominent legs.The legs have a dark stain.
I hate the dark stain, but wasn’t paying attention when my wife selected them. She regrets the dark stain.

Back to this month.
We just ordered an Amish made entertainment center. My wife was adamant that it be painted. She didn’t want yet another piece of stained wood that didn’t match. She ordered it painted gray. I have no doubt it will look beautiful. Yet painting a walnut wood, gray, seems wrong. One thing in her favor. The chair, chair ottoman, and large sofa ottoman, are all luxurious gray leather. Our carpet is also gray.

I know this is an old thread.
Any thoughts on this?

Total LUCK! I’m so excited about it, as it seems like these scores are hit or miss. The thrill of the score is always fun. 🙂
