Contemporary furniture and an antique vanity. How do I fit it in?

Hello! I recently received my grandmother's antique vanity as an heirloom. The problem is that my apartment is currently decorated in a very modern style. Mainly blacks furniture with red accents. How can I ft this piece in without looking horribly tacky?

Ling answers:

I like when furniture is not matchy matchy. You can make it work. Incorporate another piece into your room that is old world that goes with that style.

Sandy asks…

Refinishing Walnut Furniture Country/Antique Style?

I recently inherited some dark walnut furniture that had belonged to my grandfather ages ago.
There is a cabinet with hutch top, dinning room table with "club like" feet, they aren't claws more like paws with mittens on them. The chairs have spindles on the backs and then some gold hand painted pine cones or something on them that is just awful.
Anyhow, I want to go light/medium country blue with them. I was thinking of doing the legs of the table and leaving the top walnut, same thing with the cabinet, I was thinking of leaving the top walnut and the visible inside/back of the hutch top walnut.
But the catch is, the walnut is rather dark and would probably clash pretty bad. Is there a way of lightening up the walnut a bit? Otherwise I fear only a country black look will work and I really don't want dark furniture, I am not opposed to another color but have no interest in white.
What are your thoughts?
