Vanity Project

BEFORE:

AFTER:



FINALLY a new project!!! I was in D.I. (the equivalent of a thrift store) and found a vanity for $30. It is solid wood and had dove-tail drawers. It wasn't warped and all the drawers worked. The only thing it needed was a little sprucing up! So, that is what I did. I spruced away.

It will look great in my daughter's room. I still need to find the oh, so perfect chair to go with it and a fancy dancy mirror to hang above it, but I am so excited that I found a vanity for such a great deal!

When I do find the chair and the mirror. . .I will be sure to share! :)
