It's All About Vanity



Since I posted my very first Vanity on here I've had overwhelming response.  It's really amazing what a comeback vanities have made.  More and more women are looking for one for that special corner in their 'boudoirs' !  It's really no surprise that something so pretty and so feminine would never go away completely.
Here is another I was working on for a Client.  She wanted this for her teenaged daughter who is into those pretty and feminine things.


Here is what I had to work with.  An ordinary writing desk.  Ordinary yes, but still very nice in it's own right. (and REEEEALLLY GLOSSY) auughhhh!
You can't beat a good sander and bonding primer!

After it was painted and sealed, came the fun part,
dressing it up nice in preparation for..


her Photoshoot !

I opted for simple old antique handles.
The brown/rusted colour matches the skeleton keys under the glass.



She's even beautiful on the inside.







and a little Vignette

  1. love it! I think I start all my comments to you like that huh? how unoriginal of me. But I do....so do you sand something like that first completely? and then do the bonding primer?

  4. Nice work! There is something so luxurious about sitting at a vanity to get ready in the morning. Much better than being hunched over a bathroom sink. This piece is now so pretty and romantic.

  11. I love, love, love how the vanity turned out. I have always loved vanities. When I was a teenager, I had my dad put a shelf low on the wall & hang a mirror above it to act as my vanity. It worked.

  15. It's beautiful! Great job! I love the paper under the glass. I bought a desk from Goodwill this summer, ($25.00). It has glass and the finish under it isn't so great. One of these days, (after more painting experience), I hope to paint it. In the mean time I can spruce it up with some of the scrapbooking paper I have! Thank you!
