200 Tables

 Conleigh has declared that soon we will have 200 Tables that I want to take to Goodwill.  No, I say.  My affair with craigslist furniture continues and my interest in painting furniture is still there. Peter said he kind of likes the name of a store called, Two Hundred Tables.
For some reason, I have been frozen to just go for it. 
The Bible study I've been doing at church talks about how God wants to take us on a wild ride, but we have to go for it and live life. So, with that in mind, I got in gear yesterday and painted this chest of drawers that has been in our garage since August. 
I used Annie Sloan chalk paint in Paris Grey.  The great thing about this paint is that it doesn't require prepping or stripping.  Since the top of the dresser was laminate, I did use some 60 grit sandpaper and roughed it up a bit.
The weather was absolutely beautiful yesterday and painting in the quiet garage with no radio and just quiet was a wonderful way to spend an hour yesterday.

I took the hardware off and wiped down the piece. Then I painted. I do love the AS Chalk Paint. I thought I would love the Paris grey color.  Hmm.  It may be too dull. I need some advice and some suggestions from folks on where to go from here....the paris grey is too mellow for me.  Help!
Suggestions welcome!

pep it up with a rub of another color like a robins egg blue? I love the shape.

Highlight some of the edges and grooves with white, not all just random. Think it would pop the gray
