I'm blogging this for Susan's Metamorphosis Monday at Between Naps on the Porch...
And because I need some advice!
I recently repainted the master bedroom a mother-of-pearl grey color:
The yellow dresser is going. I acquired a matching one for the mahogany federalist on the right there, which absolutely cannot stay as is. The pulls, at least, need to go. But the whole thing needs refinishing, and even then I think it will be too dark for the room.
I'm getting ahead of myself... I started out with the jewelry armoir:
So here are my questions:
- Does anyone know a good white paint with a slightly blue undertone? Or another color I should try?
- Do you think I should do a layer of the grey and then another layer of the white and then sand it down a bit?
- Should I also attempt to paint the dressers white?
- Or maybe try pickling the dressers?(would be a first) Here is a good example of what it might look like, if done successfully .
- Or is changing perfectly good mahogany in any way just blasphemy and I should simply change the pulls and leave the wood alone! ...?
As I said in the original master bedroom reveal, I LOVE just about everything in this room:

I would love your opinions and suggestions! I'm a bit of a beginner here, so thank you thank you for any advice!

Boy! That is certainly a tuff room to work with. I do like the color you picked. I would probably rearrange the furniture a little.
Can't wait to see what you do.

Although I'm not much help with decorating, I do love the color you picked for your room.
Why not paint all 3 dressers to match?
You might try sealing the dark wood with a good primer/sealer before painting it. The yellow hue may be from the dark showing through.
I think the white will look great.
Hi,
I am no decorator...but,with the angled ceiling/walls tends to close in the room a bit..so I vote for white furniture to really lighten things up ! Maybe accent it with bedding in that camel/gray tone ?

I LOVE the mantle as the headboard. I also love the color.
