When I decided to refinish a credenza left behind yesteryear our house's one-time owner, I took inspiration from my handbag-of-the-moment. I opted for purplish blueish ("Royal Breeze") paint...in high gloss. This was going to live a contention slice (or every bit my married adult man mightiness telephone phone it, a glowing blueish beacon inward the corner of the room). I beloved it. Which is a practiced thing, because Home Depot kindly gave me a total gallon of the paint, instead of the pint I asked for.
Next came this Loloi rug, purchased from Tuesday Morning for but $150 (compared to a list price of to a greater extent than than $350). (The colors represent inward person. I promise.)
