I refinished this vanity just before Christmas for a super sweet client, Ilene. She was so sweet and was so excited to get this vanity done for her daughters Christmas present. It turned out great :)
**because i know that i will get asked, i don’t know the paint color that i used. It was a $5 OOPS paint that i got from Lowes – i love this color**
Before…
After…
not the best pics, these were taken @ night
I love the white primer and the darker cherry wood coming through when it was distressed – and i cant even say enough how much i love distressing a piece of furniture! 1st - its not something that you can really mess up on, 2nd – its very relaxing (is that weird?!) and 3rd – it really brings out all the details/lines/curves of the furniture. I think that most furniture really looks flat until you give it a little sanding. I know that a lot of people are intimidated to take sandpaper to a freshly painted piece of furniture – don’t be!!! IF you don’t like it then you can just touch it up with a little paint :)
The knobs were replaced with some crystal knobs that i bought @ Hobby Lobby – the best place for knobs :)
The top flipped open – it had some old green felt on the bottom – i covered that with some black/white fabric that i had
Can you believe 2 posts in 2 days?! I think this is like a record or something ;)
I’ll be back soon :)
ooh it looks so pretty! love the color and the hardware! i am having a furniture only party that just started- would love for you to come link up!
I'm so intrigued by all the projects you do. Where do you come up with your ideas? I have an OLD cedar chest that was my Grandma's that I am wanting to refinish. I haven't done anything with it yet, because it a thin layer of particle board or some other kind of wood, and I'm afraid if I strip that piece of wood off, it would look horrible when I got done with it.
turned out great. great color
love the color of this – my entry table is pretty much the same color and I also distressed it – I have had it for years and I still love it! :) I like the new blog name also – very appropriate!
This is great! I love your ideas…Thanks for sharing! I have a question if you have time to answer. I am wondering how you filled in the holes when you went from two knob holes to one??? Thanks, Joni
