We're still settling in, 95% done with the store, still working the back room and bathroom areas. But I'd love to share our new bathroom vanity.
Here it is in all its peeling veneer glory! The top had 1/2 of its veneer peeled off already. This is a perfect Chalk Paint® decorative paint by Annie Sloan project.
We started with a beautiful antique 3-drawer dresser.

We started with painting the vanity Chalk Paint® in Coco. This is a great warm velvety color.
Then we painted the body of the dresser in Florence. A great turquoise color that will brighten up the room.
Remember those drawers with peeling veneers?
Rather than repairing them which would include glue, sanding, and putty, I decided to just let them be part of the history of the piece.
I then used a fun Royal Design Studio stencil with gilding wax.
Here it is almost done.
It wasn't quite as deep as we needed for our LARGE sink, so a larger top piece was cut, placing the faucet behind the vanity. A little unorthodox as the contractor said, but pretty clever.
I'll post more pictures in 2-weeks when the whole bathroom is done. I have lots of clever ideas!
Hope you're inspired.
