"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!

Sweet Cream #2

Here's another creamy dresser I did to match one in a recent post. As the mismatched look is agreeably in right now, my client and I found two similar-but-not-matched pieces for her daughters' room.

Sage Sophistication

This handmade little chest had lots of life left but just needed a loving facelift. Sorry, brass hardware--this is not your decade.

A subtle sage with a lovely burnt umber glaze lands this piece back in the game.

And new hardware dramatically updates the look.

What outdated furniture piece do you have lying around that needs a little loving? Get that sandpaper and paint out!
