A Pink Vanity

I found this vanity that was pretty beat up at a flea market for $18. I knew I wanted to paint it pink so it could be used in a girls' bedroom.

AFTER

I painted this piece using a flat paint. The matte finish was fun to work with (similar to chalk paint). I really wanted the imperfections to stand out so I used a tinted wax to reveal them better. I even added more texture with brushmarks. I tinted Annie Sloan clear wax with an oil based grey paint. It was a soft grey that didn't change the pink color as much, but was only held in by the texture that was there. This worked perfectly.

I used the clear wax all over first and then waited 15 minutes before using the colored wax. I buffed the piece and it was finished. I love how it turned out and it was fun using the Annie Sloan waxing brush and wax I got for Christmas!

I'm loving how the texture came alive with the grey wax! The knobs I got at Hobby Lobby added the perfect touch.

I painted the inside of the drawers grey to give that little something extra!

I am selling this piece so hopefully it will find a good home soon!

Thank you for stopping by!
