"V" is for Vanity

A vanity table makeover for a friend.

The perfect spot to put on make up and get ready for the day.

A quick change of paint and a new drawer made this table go from this:

To this:

Originally painted a minty green color my friend wanted a fresh white update:

 

And there was no drawer, now that's not very user friendly.

So I built a drawer and added a fun pull:

The bubbly green pull mimics the bubbly character of the legs.

Here's how I made over the vanity:

1. Sand piece to remove old paint using 120 grit on mouse sander.

2. Build drawer, basically a box made of 1/2" plywood with a face piece and 1/4 mdf bottom:

3. Drawer fits and piece is ready for primer:

4. Prime one coat.

Paint two coats Behr Swiss Coffee.

Sand to distress edges (120 grit by hand):

5. Seal two coats satin poly, three coats on top surface:

6. Once poly is dry add hardware.

This bubbly knob is from Anthropologie, love how their hardware comes complete with its own funky bag:

Vanity is finished and fully functional:

Amazing what a little paint and wood can do for a piece.

Enjoy your refinished piece Deb!
