The beginning of my week started with rolling an art deco vanity into my workroom.
The plan was to take it apart and make a pair of nightstands.
I even took some photos of different angles to show you how
I was going to do it, thus this sideways before photo.
I hummed and hawed for a while before committing to the
deconstructions because I really liked the pair of drawers in
the middle. It's an unusual characteristic of these pieces.
I had the right size legs to make it tall enough to sit at and I
could reused the wood that was originally on the bottom to
make new back legs, so I choose to save it. Below, you can
see the faded area where I stole the wood from to make the back leg.

She's been painted in a creamy white and soft pink. I have a
very specific recipe for the pink if you want to use it. I started
with a quarter can of ASCP Old White, a single drop of
Emperor's Silk, and 3 drops of Coco. ASCP are very strongly
pigmented especially the red so be cautious.
