I was taking pictures of this sweet little vanity for my Etsy Shop and
thought I would share it here with you all. I actually refinished it last
summer before I started blogging, therefore, there are no "before"

When I found this vanity at a yard sale, the wood was dark and lacking
personality. All it needed was a little TLC.

Even though my yard is not in the best shape here, that
grass sure looks nice and green right about now.
Next, I sprayed it with two to three coats of Dove White
I also lined the inside of the drawer with scrapbook paper
to dress it up and give it a new, clean feel.
To cushion the seat a little more, I added an extra layer of thin foam and
polyester batting and then covered it with this soft pastel mint linen fabric.
I think I'm jealous ~ her cabriole legs are more shapely than mine.
Lastly, I lightly distressed everything to create the shabby look that I love.
I'm hoping eventually some mother will fall in love with it and

I'm hoping eventually some mother will fall in love with it and
give her daughter the perfect place to pamper herself. I think
it needs a little girl to love it again.

What a sweet vanity with lots of personality!
Thanks so much for stopping by my blog. Love this little vanity -- but I have nowhere to put it. Hope it finds a deserving home!
That is just gorgeous and I love the way you have used scrapbook paper to line the drawers...I tried and got stuck but I never thought of using two pieces and putting it up the sides (I am assuming that is what you have done!) Looks great :)

What a great job you did on your sweet little vanity! My granddaughters would love it! Thanks for your visits! So nice to get feedback!
Hi lovely,
This is beautiful. I'm so jealous of people like you who can transform pieces of furniture like this. I love the extra special touches you've given it - the lined drawer and the new upholstery.

Beautiful. Any little girl would love this. Ginger
