Painted base
Nothing wrong with painting the base at all. In fact one look you may like is a painted distressed base. Basically you paint it solid white, or really whatever color you like that works with the room. After it's dry hit it with a palm sander at random spots to give it a natural wear look. Once done blow it off with an air gun then apply rustoleum dark walnut decorative glaze. Wipe the excess off with a damp rag, allow to dry then coat in matte poly. This finish looks great.
