Vanity Reveal!

I've finally finished the vanity!  Whew . . . lol!  How did such a small project turn into such a big job, I still wonder. LOL!!!    But I'm quite happy with how she came out!  NOTE:  Heavy photo loaded post. : )

So you remember how she started out here:

She was a gift from a friend; don't know why the legs were on backwards. lol  The color was a stark white so I painted it a pearl/putty white of diy chalk paint by mixing 2 paints I already had.  I put 2 coats sanded after each and it came out so so smooth.

Then I hit a creative block as seen here!   Frustrated , I decided I'd just work on one of my quickie projects such as these three.  As soon as I started looking through my paints to see what I wanted use, I discovered I still had a sage green paint leftover I had mixed up from another project.  PERFECT . . .!!!  So I sponged the green over the chalk paint and loved the mottled look!  Next I added the wine color trim so it coordinated more with my bathroom, plus I love the color combo.

Now my creative juices were awakened and I started looking to see what else I could add.  Have you ever heard of Tatouage?  I bought these about 7yrs ago on HSN but hadn't only used it once.

It's a rub on transfer you can use on the walls, furniture, and even glass.  You can find more info about it at Tatouage Designs  their official site and also at House of Tatouage which is a distributors site.  I took some curvy corner pieces and added them to the four corners of the table top.  Guess what, its also wholes up under sanding if you want the distressed age look.   I sanded right over them here.

I also added on the front of the piece.  I noticed these small transfers were very similar to the design on the knob.

 Below yous can see how two of them are transferred on and one isn't.

Only tools you need is the wooden tongue depressor tool which is provided with it.

 I decided to paint the knob black as the white just stood out too much.

I also went light on the distressing, just a little on the edges and the diamond behind the knob.

So this would be a good place to stretch your legs or grab a snack or drink . . .  All refreshed?  Okay lets continue with the finale!

And here she is completed and in her new home in my bathroom.

I added a few of my favorite things including my love of teddy bears. : )

I even added a little surprise punch by painting the inside of the drawer with fabric on the seat.

As for my bench, a little secret, its only taped on for now.  I know, you couldn't tell, but after all, we bloggers have no secrets and tell all. lol  My staple gun died just before I left for vacation, so for now, tape it is. -_^  The photos give you a peek into my bathroom.   So here she is side by side before and after:

 Hopefully, I will do a full reveal of the finished room on Sunday!  Thanks for your patience in following along through all the photos. *Whew*  Have a good week everyone and hope you'll visit again soon.
By the way, watch for some talented guest post coming soon.  I'll just say string, art, and jewelry . . . uh huh! -_^
