Colour Inspiration: wood & white

I snagged this little guy for the kingly sum of $9.99 but it's been languishing in my office, since I couldn't figure out how to make it work.  See, ALL of the rest of our furniture is white and I thought it would stand out like a sore thumb.  Finally though I just went for it and it really worked out!  In a moment of serendipity it actually reads as a continuation of the flooring, and splitting up the white pieces did the trick! 

$9.99 of midcentury loveliness!
