Midcentury Modern Console

Thank you for your comments on my post "Yay or Neigh?".  You all had such great ideas that I can't wait to implement!  I can paint pretty pieces or buy a nice mirror, but it's hard for me to really "decorate" or put everything together so it looks good.  I can use all of the help I can get, so I really appreciated your comments.

Some of you commented on the console table in the post.  I've had this midcentury modern piece in my garage for a while.  I'm sure you've seen these on Craigslist or at garage sales.  I forgot to take a before pic, but this is basically what it looked like, although not nearly in as pristine condition:

I had originally hoped to strip and refinish the wood to something like this:

The wood was in terrible shape, so I had to paint it.  I couldn't decide on a color.  I've had this Martha Stewart Plumage in my garage waiting to be painted on an accent wall in my bedroom.  But, since that doesn't seem to be happening anytime soon, I decided to try it on the console and I like the way it turned out.  The cream color is an oops paint I picked up at Home Depot.  It's a ceiling paint, so it has a thicker consistency and seemed to leave more brushstrokes.  I'm not sure a ceiling paint is the way to go on furniture.  I finished the piece with a couple of coats of glossy spray-on polyacrylic.

I'm considering adding the gold drawer pulls in the inspiration picture.  What do you think?

Here's where I spent my weekend:

We had a great time just being together as a family.  I hope you had a wonderful weekend too!
