Tiffany Blue Vanity

I was at the Flea Market (as usual on a Friday) and I found this old beat up vanity that had so much potential.  I of course snatched it up and brought it home. 
Here is the before:

You can see the loveliness there under all the damage.  I mixed up a light Tiffany/Beachy Blue home made chalk paint and started to paint away.  


Ugly  but in a good way!

I like to mix up my own colors depending on what I am picturing in my head for a piece.  I thought of blue and making the vanity two-toned.  I like to get OOPSY paint from my local paint store ( they give it to me for free since I am in there all the time-ha ha.  They all know me by name and even know my go -to colors by heart and I love going in there).

I painted the vanity in my custom blue and then used a garlic glove white for the details.

The next step was to distress and wax with AS dark wax.

How can you not love these gorgeous legs with casters?

I added some crystal knobs from my stash

I  hand painted the edge trim with a little gold

I found a mirror that I had fixed up and antiqued

A local shop owner took this piece for her shop before I could even blink!
