I went to one of the local Thrift stores after Crossfit today and fell in love with this grungy old vanity. The price was not great, but I thought there was a beautiful piece hidden in there-- so I bought the vanity and loaded it up in my car.
Before:
Ugly on the surface, but good bones!
I mixed up my home made chalk paint--Milky Way by Benjamin Moore bought at Kings Paint and started to transform. After 3 coats of paint I distressed the vanity and waxed it with a mixture of Danish oil and AS clear wax. I love how it turned out.
