I found this vanity at a Garage sale. There were many, many beautiful pieces of furniture
at this garage, which were way under priced, yet still out of my budget...:(
But this baby, she WAS in my price range, and she needed my help.
First I got to sanding her down. She had lots of damage that you can see how I repaired in my previous post.
Then the funky cool brass handles needed some serious help.
I had thought about polishing them, but really didn't want that color with the color I chose for the vanity.
I chose a Ralph Lauren color that I had painted my armoire in my living room with a couple years ago.
Its espresso black. Its so rich and warm.
Then I got to distressing and finishing with lacquer.
Its another piece of furniture that my 2 oldest girls have threatened to confiscate..:) (Please don't mind the messy garage..:))
Have a BEAUTIFUL day.!!

This is a piece of furniture my 14 year old wants and I CAN NEVER FIND!! Grrr
Wish I knew you way back when we were selling my Grandpa's furniture and then my mom-in-law's stuff. You could have picked up some neat stuff for next to nothing, and I would have had the joy of seeing it brought back to life.
I always check people's curbside trash when I drive by just in case I see something I can pick up for you.
Lovely. Much much much better! I love how big a difference a little love does to a piece. Great job.

i loe the modern shape of this one- the back really suits it perfectly!
I love this...so pretty. I haven't had any luck finding vanities, so I'm a little jealous!
That is such a great vanity! LOVE IT!!! I can't ever find stuff like that around here :(
It's beautiful! I love the color.
What a great transformation!
Great job! It looks so much better and the handles are perfect!
Beautiful transformation! I love the hammered spray paints...recently used the hammered brown and just love it.

Oh she is so curvy, I love it. Please tell me you painted the grass around her. I always do that and my husband just loves our multi-colored lawn!
Love what you did. Has a great feeling to it. I could see it in a boy's room... My son's :)
