Like many of us during Covid I spent lots of time inside the walls of our home and decided I wanted more unique furniture but I didn’t have the budget to accommodate so I decided I’d make them myself.
This beautiful vanity was gifted to me by a friend that belonged to her grandmother and when I saw it I knew I wanted to give it a new look with big Versailles inspiration.
I started by cleaning and stripping the piece of the existing varnish before scuff sanding the whole piece and sanding the top and draws back to their natural colour.
I then lightly primed the main piece and painted it in trim semi gloss paint by Tint called ‘Do Not Disturb’.
I wanted to keep the beautiful original handles so I gave them new life with Dulux duramax bright gold finish spray paint, which I also hand painted details onto the side. To finish I sealed the piece with a clear polyurethane.
