@ Barbara...Oh dear, dear Barb, always sitting on the fence...ha ha...(my turn to say something that I mean but not really say it so to speak....all in the ha ha!) Don't know how you manage to stay on everybody's side as well as your own...you must have a Diploma in diplomacy girl! I could never do it as well since I am afflicted with "foot IN mouth disease"...(that's everybody else's die-ease,) not mine. I appreciate the ability to voice a different opinio and I respect the ability in others.. I dislike black as a decor accent anywhere. The furthest I will go is Charcoal...now THAT'S an interesting shade for a toilet seat! I've seen all colours in ceramic toilets, even sickly purple- pink and all colours in plastic toilet seats including black...mostly black...well ALL black then..some .with an open space at the front for reasons that should be ovbious. Have not seen one of those since the 1940's though. I recall that in those times most vehicles on the road were also black and when my Dad sent from Nauru Island where he worked for some car paint...all there was - was black. Dark Days those! Why bring them back in tpoilet seats? So, now that we've experienced all colours and some lids with embedded artwork, some of it not really good....why not a charcoal toilet seat? Why has it "gotta be white?" Why, Maybelbridges, do you think you can see if its clean ONLY if it is white? Is that why everybody is painting just about everything white? Tis a puzzlement! Having returned to this poll and given due consideration to all comments....I think I will also sit on the fence..(.opps...seat) and say...weeeellll.....what does it matter what colour as long as it keeps a lid on things? And...for me...I'll opt for something to the left, something you can polish to a high sheen with fragrant O'Cedar and say...gimme a warm wooden one any day above all the rest.

Get yourself some fine grit sandpaper or a sanding block. Go over it all litly to remove enough varnish for paint to stick. Get a small foam roller and tray fill with gloss balck paint you selected, and first brush all the edges of the drawers. Remove all drawers doing the frame first, then the drawers themselves. Then roll the flat surfaces, sides and top of the frame unit, then the faces of your drawers. I would dry it overnight. On the second day, if there's any runs or thick areas, which is unlikely f you roll AFTER you brush. But if so, again use your sanding block lightly over the entire face surface of the problem area. Apply second coat, then a final if necessary. Dry an entire day before working on it. Perfect your bed is leather, I'm suggesting a leather detail only, not the entire dresser, so it will link in perfectly. You can buy meterage of vinyl look leather at Lincraft or spotlight cheaply. Template the front of each drawer only, not including the bevel edge. Just use a piece of paper and rub the edges to reveal the size of the flat face of each drawer. Use this paper as a template to cut out your vinyl. Lastly. I would use a spray adhesive suitable for vinyl and cloths, follow the instructions and stick to the drawer front. Again dry overnight. The next day finish off by punching through a hole for your handle with either a metal skewer or similar. And if your edges are not neat enough for you, you can also buuy a trim stud, cord etc to glue to the edges. It's not that hard, and can look great, you just need confidence to go for it, and what's to lose. An old set of drawers you're painting anyway! Yu could substitute the leather for wallpaper which would be easier again. Good luck.

I love black tapware and I think it will be around for a few years. It seems that black, copper and all things coloured are making big waves. Black is such a great complementary bathroom colour for all the brights that are also trending and probably here to stay for a while. https://www.google.com.au/search?q=methven+coloured+taps&espv=2&biw=911&bih=445&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0CAcQ_AUoAmoVChMItvbI8qvlyAIViZqUCh3kvg1z#tbm=isch&q=coloured+tapware&imgrc=26qdG_I1UN7lWM%3A
