Sweet Vanity!


 Yay, my first piece is done!  Since we moved back from California, I have been super busy moving into the new house and decorating it just so. I have also been working on getting my furniture refurbishing back in business.  In California, I absolutely loved buying good quality solid furniture that people didn't want anymore and turning them into such gorgeous chic pieces. The best part of it was meeting so many different people and making them smile when they came to pick up their piece!
Well, now my inventory is back up and I just finished a cute vintage vanity that would make any young or even older lady smile!

I found this gem on Craigslist and although it was cute just in its self, it was in need of some serious girly touches.  As soon as I walked in the door to pick it up, I immediately thought that ASCP Antoinette was for sure going to be on this, not sure where, but somewhere.  I didn't even make it home when the thought of decoupaging sheet music on her and using Miss Mustard Seed's new milk paint in "TYPEWRITER" for the knobs, which are the original.  With her sweet wood wheels and adorable folding mirror, I can not wait to see the smile of it's new owner!

The body is painted in ASCP Old White and the drawers are Antoinette. I then bought vintage church sheet music and decoupaged them to the sides, oh so cute!  After it was almost complete, I thought the drawer faces could use a little flare so I hand painted a design on each one using MMS Milk Paint "TYPEWRITER", it's just what they needed!

And here she is....


Isn't she so sweet:)

Loving the vintage look on that sheet music...

I forgot to take off the date stamp on my camera, and this is
what it looked like after I tried to removed it, my apologies.


Here she is before, minus the folding mirror...
