Well, I showed everyone a sneak peak of this vanity the other day when I shared how I refinish my furniture.
So, this is the full reveal.
I used Cece Caldwell paint in Simply White and then lightly distressed around the edges. Perfect and simple, a classic look. I love how it turned out. If my bedroom was actually big enough to turn around in, I would love to keep this one!
Just a reminder, but this is how it started out.
It may look decently okay in this picture, but the top especially, was terribly scratched. So, I refinished the top, and painted out the rest. I unfortunately had to remove the trim off the drawers. Only one of them had all their pieces there. And my skills aren't up to carving out new trim. This is definitely a quality, heavy and solid piece of furniture. Dove tailed drawers and all.
The bench was picked up a separate yard sale, but I think it's from the same era, and it fits nicely into the vanity.
Even though the sides of the double top were a bit of pain to refinish, I still think that it turned out so lovely, and totally worth the extra effort.
You can read all about how I refinished the top here:
With the addition of a pretty mirror, it will make the perfect primping station!
Beautiful transformation - the wood top turned out gorgeous - drool worthy!!!

ReplyDeleteHi Cynthia
ReplyDeleteIt turned out very lovely! I love the transformation. You left me a comment on altered artworks about my step stool re-do. I was nervous about the freezer paper transfer, and after two tries, I got it right. Actually, the hardest thing about it is the placement of the graphic. The first try was crooked. Being the perfectionist I am, I repainted the top, then re-transferred the graphic! I love the way it turned out. And I jsut finished my second piece. Stay tuned for my upcoming post.
