BURNING THE MIDNIGHT OIL!

Good Evening!I am still awake at midnight and I haven't had a nap!!I've been moving furniture around,I now have a welsh dresser in my sitting room,but it doesn't look right,should I paint it pale blue,which is my favourite at the moment or a cream colour? Maybe it's the things that I have on it that do not gel!What do you think?
