Vanity

Furniture Tip: Don't bring your painted piece into your house before it's 100% dry when you have a 3 year old running around the house. :) ...

Ok, it wasn't that bad. I finished staining the piece, brought it inside the next day (stain on paint takes a while to fully dry) and my little princess thought it would be neat to climb on the furniture. She learned quickly it was not that neat :). 

I half-way finished the vanity this week. The bottom part is done, but the mirror is still waiting for some love. Here are the before and half-way finished pictures...

Before (sorry it's not the best shot) ...

After...

 If you look close you can see where my daughter stepped... That will be fixed soon :(

I still need 2 more knobs, but I'm pretty happy with how these ones turned out. I bought them a while back at Hobby Lobby during their 50% off knob sale and they happened to look pretty cute on here. Yes??

*Sorry again for the pictures, I'm still needing to get my nice camera fixed :( . Half the pictures make the piece look SO bright and the other half make it look blue. Really it's aqua... if you were wondering :)

 More details to come when the piece is complete!

Sneak Peek

This is what I've been working on.....

 Sorry it's so small, it was taken with my camera on my phone.

It's a vanity of my great grandmother's that was given to her as a wedding gift and then given to me four years ago. I finished the bedroom set for my daughter (which is what got me started into painting) and never had room for the vanity until now. I'm so excited to finish it! It has a beautiful mirror that goes on the top, which I don't have a picture of yet, of course. Sorry :) This is a late night post so I'll get more details later. It should be finished soon!
