Shabby Chic Vanity

This waterfall dresser was in poor shape when I got her. She was white but dirty, chipped, and needed a lot of TLC. I cleaned her up with some TSP (trisodium phosphate) thoroughly and to help take the shiny finish. This process also helps paint stick better! I patched up some knick and holes with wood glue and sanded roughly. You can see all the layers of paint she was finished with before...blue, pink, white. So much history. I have always liked teal, lime green, and white together...so I did just that. I painted the lime green over the white, which actually helped this piece look more organic. Then, the teal color on top. Sanded and chipped the edges with scraper and Voila! This is the ultimate Shabby Chic Vanity, finished off with glass knobs for a more feminine look, which I LOVE!!! And with all that she's been through all these years, she deserves a little sparkle. So, now I ask,  who wants her??? Yeah, she is for SALE! Go to my SHOP right now!!!


Pink is not the only thing that could look so feminine!

Check them knobs out!
