My desk is in the Adult Living Room. I contemplate painting this “desk” high gloss black…thoughts?

I got the crystal and brass Chandelier on ebay for $114…it is from an old mansion in New Orleans-Pre Katrina..

the round oak Coffee table

was my original dining table when I lived in NYC years many years ago , and when we bought our first house….I had cut down to a coffee table and eventually painted with off white paint…life distressed it!
