"Samantha"
This is an adorable antique vanity upcycled in a marshmallow white with seafoam accents and moderate distressing. It has a light coat of burnt umber glaze to age it back a bit--not that it needed any help on the aging front.
It's an ancient piece with the original wooden castors. That's old. It was in pretty bad shape with the veneer coming off in strips and the wood layers rippling and bubbling along every seam and corner. So after weeks of mudding, wood filler, and sanding, I got it mostly smoothed out.
I said mostly. Don't look too close...
The drawers stick. But cute paper lining the drawers makes the stickiness inconsequential. Kind of.
To add a little more color, this piece also got the stencil treatment.
Isn't it fun? I have another antique vanity similar to this piece but in better condition if you are interested in having one for your home.
Thanks for stopping by!

Here it is just starting out:
