Before and After: Vanity Set

There's nothing like a good garage sale. My mom and I hit them up every chance we get! I saw this vanity at an Estate Sale a while back and I bought it immediately.

I've been wanting one of these for my bedroom ever since we moved in. This one will be a perfect fit, it just needs a little TLC. So I used my oil rubbed bronze metallic paint, that I seemingly use for everything, and this Krylon 18K gold leaf paint pen...

I rolled on one coat of paint, let it dry for a few hours, then painted all the corners and crevices and let it dry over night. I removed the seat from the stool and recovered it with a piece of scrap fabric I had stashed away. I gave the stool 2 coats of Krylon Oil Rubbed Bronze spray paint.

Have I told you how great Krylon products are? Yea. Awesome. Even with 2 coats, the stool was completely dry in about an hour. So, I recovered the seat with the leftover fabric, screwed it back on and voila...instant makeover!!

The vanity looks just as great! Once it was dry I accented it with the gold paint pen and it looked even better!!

And here it is, all prettied up, in my bedroom. I can't tell you how much I love this. And it only cost $30!! The original stool was sort of small, so I switched it with one I already had in my bathroom. It's perfect because I can slide it all the way under so that the space feels nice and neat. And the color of the stool already matched too! It turned out to be a perfect place to display some of my favorite accessories!!!

The wall space above and around the vanity is so plain right now, I mean, completely empty! I have huge plans for it so stay tuned! Thanks for reading!!
