To paint or not to paint...

So...I am almost finished redoing my cane back chairs I got off Craigslist for $20 A PIECE!!!

I have 800 yards
(seriously...I bought WAAAY to much)
Rachel Ashwell White Denim Fabric...

which actually...I could redo EVERYTHING in this fabric...

so it's totally fine that I over bought...

anyway...

I decided to recover these seats the other day...

I started taking them apart and the padding underneath was SOOO disgusting...

and completely falling apart...

So, I picked up some new foam...borrowed a staple gun from a fabulous girlfriend (thanks Chas!)

and am off to my new adventure!

Now...

do I keep them this color (the stained wood)...

or...

do I paint them white...

or...

glossy black...

Let me tell you first that I just purchased a rug...

yes...

I found an 8 x 10 rug for...wait for it...

 $200!!!!!

I almost fell over.

Anyway...

it is black and white...

well...

here is a pic from where I found it...

IT IS SOOO COOL!

This dresser she has in her daughters room is almost exactly the style buffet I have in my dining room...

but...it is white with a glossy black mirror.

I am really digging the Vintage...Modern...Glam...Earthy look...

yes, I know...

kind of alot of looks...

but, it's what I love. so. I will make it work!

Anyway...

thoughts?  suggestions?

wood, white, or black?
