Doesn't this vanity look like a sweet, little Southern Belle?
Would you believe it starting out looking like this?
Which is why I was able to pick it up for $13 (there's a story
behind that price). Don't you love buying furniture for $13?!!
I thought I would use it in my son's room for a bench,
but he emphatically said, "No"!
That's ok, I shall use it myself.
I painted it with a homemade plaster paint, then waxed with Annie Sloan clear and dark waxes. I did use the TKO oil to control the dark wax,
which you can read more about here.
It was my plan to distress it quite a bit, but I decided not to since there is a lot of pattern going on in my bathroom with all the tile and the floral curtain. If I move it to a bedroom, I probably will distress it more.
I found the knobs at Hobby Lobby......so cute!
The shelf is a decorative piece I picked up at Hobby Lobby,
as well. It fits perfectly for the shelf and
adds a nice touch of ornamentation.
I also painted some old, wooden filing boxes
and added to the top for a little extra height.
Luckily I had a mirror sitting around that had been
removed from this garden chalk board project.
It was just what was needed to finish off the vanity
This isn't the vanity I set out to find for this bathroom,
but until I come across the perfect one
- this is pretty cute.
