Missed a week but...

Making up for not posting a reveal last Friday! I've got TWO for ya! I'm working on trying to up how much I can get done in a week and it seemed to work. Ok, so this first one was a Craigslist Curb Alert, missing a drawer. I even picked it up in the rain! But it turned out well. I wasn't sure what I wanted to do but once I noticed the handles had pineapples on them I knew I wanted a Charleston feel to it. I bought some cute baskets to go in the bottom. They don't fit perfectly...who knew that would be so hard to do but I've decided to sell it with or without in case someone has their own baskets or doesn't like the ones I purchased. This one gave me some trouble with the second drawer but with some help from my husband I remedied it and now for the reveal!

Before, old, worn, missing a drawer...




And that brings me to the next one! I am seriously proud of this piece! It was actually the first piece I acquired on this new journey to refinish furniture but I had been too scared up until recently to even attempt what I wanted to do with it. I loved the ornate drawers and the fact that it had the original casters. Not a bad looking vanity to begin with but I feel like a breathed a whole new life into it!

Before, just stained but in different colors so you could actually see the details.



And after! I created a custom blue and added antique glazing then did the hardware in oil rubbed bronze.













I LOOOOOVE IT! I would love to keep this piece but I'm far from having my dream bedroom just yet. I hope someone loves it to death! Thanks for looking!
