Two Tier Table

Now that drop leaf baby is finished, it's time to move on to this two tiered end table I've been glancing at for a while now. I'm not sure what to do, just yet, but I have a lot of ideas floating around. I'm thinking something along the lines of cobalt blue... I might stripe it with the wood, I might two tone it, I might do a fabric inlay, a pattern stencil.....I really can't decide. Do you have any ideas?
