"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!

Catching Up

 New Baby is due in just a few weeks. Along with like ten other babies at church who are all coming within just a couple months of each other. Poor nursery workers. So I've been doing baby bump cakes instead of painting. And participating in the Great Zucchini challenge chronicled here.

Zucchini and feta scones

I don't do the whole pregnancy thing very well. I have memories of my mom effortlessly popping a new baby out every few years or so, with very little said between the time-span of the noticeable bump and the arrival home from the hospital with another sibling. No big deal, this scenario implied.
