I love redoing generic vanities so when I saw this on CL I asked my BF to pick it up for me. It was 5 minutes from him and we were getting together later that evening, perfect!
Not so perfect, thought it would be an easy sand, paint, change out fabric and done. Not quite, the previous owner decided to give it a fresh coat of paint with brush strokes an ant could ski off of, slammed unnecessary nails in it, and added a little Gorilla Glue here and there for good measure, just perfect!. I sanded the heck out of it, fixed the nail situation and mixed up a perfect shade of blue/turquoise. I love this color!!!

| I mixed some left over blue from this and added a few squirts of Americana Bluegrass Green. |
One of my favorite parts of painting is mixing colors.
Here's the before.

| I sprayed the cheapo knobs satin black and then added a little crystal with Liquid Nails. Not Anthro but sure beats the dollar special. |

Have a great weekend everyone!
Update...sold on Etsy in a couple of hours. So well worth the Gorilla Glue, endless sanding and countless/needless nails! Makes me so happy and makes my garage look a little less like a furniture show room :)
