Vintage Vanity Makeover

I found this vanity at a garage sale for $20. I knew I could work some magic with Annie Sloan's Chalk Paint. The color I picked was Duck Egg and I painted a metallic gold for the trim.
I needed a chair for the vanity and found this one at a thrift store for $5.
 I painted it with the same Duck Egg color.
Love this color.
My husband, Stan, helped staple gun the linen on.

I decided not to stencil on the linen.
The vanity turned out just the way I wanted it to. Very French...

  5. Wo, $20 bucks! That is a score! I redid a french provincial dresser over in antique white paint for my baby's nursery, I love the look and shape of the design, but I do not like their original colors much! This blue is awesome!

  9. Jody it turned out so lovely. I LOVE the color and the gold accents! What a great find for 20 dollars!!!
    I also adored your garden cart in a previous post!!!! That is just awesome. I love your garden and I can see that you are quite a bit ahead of me as far as growth goes, but seeing your garden is getting me excited for the season to start. I love how you recycled your broken gate too :)

  23. Oh wow, I had this piece as part of my "french" bedroom when I was a child in the 60's. My father bought it from Sears & Roebuck where he was a manager. I had the canopy bed, night stand and chest of drawers. This piece was really a desk, but my parents purchased the oval mirror that went with the dresser, and placed it over the desk to serve as a vanity. Glad you kept the gold! Brings back a lot of memories.
