VINTAGE VANITY TURN EUROPEAN DESK - working with what you have
Some of you know we host fairly good and definitely fun yard sales even in the RAIN! This year we ran out of time and stuff to sell. So I thought I would share an old yard sale makeover with you to help makeup for it.
SHABBY CHIC VANITY SET - painted with annie sloan
IT'S THAT TIME OF YEAR
When I organized and
re-arranged this winter
I found a vanity set. All three of these pieces, the
mirror, the table, and the
chair were in different
places of our home
and for the most part
up-cycled already.
SHABBY CHIC VANITY - soft turquoise
Today I have some nice photos of a project I did in a soft turquoise color. And I will reveal the magic ingredient.
CHANGING A WATERFALL - coco handpainted desk
I've never been a fan of water fall / art deco styled furniture, but it is made well and there is plenty of pieces out there. This desk/vanity came from The Gelco Furniture Company in Montreal circa 1950 - 1960.
THE JELLY IN THE DONUT- white vanity with stool and mirror
There is truly a surprise hiding inside this one
and this time it's not simple drawer liners.
A LITTLE BIT OF WILD INSIDE - european desk finished
You might recall the other day I showed you this little desk vanity I saved from our yard sale.
Notice the angle the above photo was taken has lined up the tree lines on both sides.
Almost like magic, you could step right thru into another world.
WONDERLAND or maybe NARNIA?
So in keeping with the wild side of fantasy,
she got some fun zebra, snake skin, and polka dot drawer liners.
This was a trio of wrapping paper I found at HomeSense last year.
This was a trio of wrapping paper I found at HomeSense last year.
The whole piece received 3 sprayed clear coats outside with the spray gun.
This created the rougher textured surface I want to match the rustic feel on the body.
Then the top surface got an additional 2 clear coats brushed on to finish it.
She turned out perfect, better then I could have imagined.
She sold to a great couple with in hours of advertising.
If you missed the *before* you can see it and a few more pics here.
