Paint it black or white?

Ever since I saw this table, I've been thinking... Do I really want to paint our meals table white? Or should we paint it black instead? Don't get me wrong, I still love my whites, and think it would be a lot easier to keep clean and dust free ... but this black table just looks so damn sexy!

What do you think? Would you recommend we paint it black or stick with white?

The table to be painted ...

Our open living so far. The rectangular dining table will be replaced, and so will the black leather lounge. So we are pretty much starting from scratch here...

These are the chairs we've got in mind, to go with the meals table...
