1930's Vintage Dresser with Mirror

Hello!!
This is another project I recently finished.

I found this vanity on Craig's List and fell in love right away.

It's a dresser from 1930s and I love the shape and the details, so feminine.

I've been using lots of gray and blue paints so far, so this time, I wanted a new colour.

Mixing up my own colour and making it into chalk paint.

I did this after midnight, when it was so quiet and everyone else was asleep,

I felt like I was a mad scientist :)

It's hard to see what colour this is from the picture, but it's mint green.

I always get so excited when I put the first splash of paint, don't you?

I painted the details white.

When the colour is light like this, you sometimes have to put many coats of paint.

I did 4 coats of green and white :)

After I did a little bit of distressing and lots of hand waxing......

She looks like this.

I think she turned out pretty.

My daughter came in and said

"Mom, everything looks so pretty after you touch them!"

That made me really happy!

I used the natural & dark wax.

I like beading:)



Painted inside white.

My daughter brought this necklace to me to use it in a picture:)

Well, new school year has just started today.

I hope all the kids will have a wonderful year ahead!!
