Make Up Vanity Re-Do

I'm so excited to have Mr. Seventies working on my make up vanity!!  I purchased the vanity from an antique shop (Rose Cottage Antiques) in Summerside a while back.  The shop owner advised it is a piece from the 1940's.  To refresh your memory...here is how it looked before he got started.  I may replace the drawer pulls for some prettier ones...will be checking Home Sense to see what they have. I also had Mr, Seventies remove the casters from the legs.....not a fan of them...

While it looks good from a distance...up close you can see that it has been well loved over the years.  After a thorough wipe down, Mr. Seventies gave it a good sanding...there were some rough patches where something had either been spilled or left to dry in previous years.   Nothing some sanding and primer couldn't take care of....

The carpet was rolled up & a layer of plastic put down to protect the flooring...and the mirror was taped off...you can see the imperfections brought on by age in the mirror.   I thought about having a new mirror put in....but I love the feel and look of the original mirror....

Our supplies before the process got started....the paint is a satin acrylic from Behr in Ballet White...Zinsser primer, 120 grit sandpaper, sponge rollers and a couple of brushes....

Currently there are two coats of primer on everything...and that is all that will be required.  First coat of paint hopefully will be applied today!

We are tending to Benson today...his Mama reports the hind end harness is working well...and it is being used indoors as well to assist him in using his back legs. He is such a good boy!!

Have an awesome day wherever you are today!
