When you want elegant and stunning wrapped into one how do you do that. My idea on that is colour and sparkle. Most women have a little black dress. It is a staple item in our wardrobe. We change the look by adding different jewelry and even the simplest black dress can look glamorous with the right accessories. That is what I was trying to achieve with this vanity. Good bones but not so pretty.
In order to achieve dimension without contract in the paint, I chose Raven and Cast Iron FAT Paint colours. The subtle difference is just enough to enhance the different parts of the vanity and stool. Once the 2 coats of paint were on and dry I applied natural wax. I allowed it to dry up a bit then buffed the entire piece with 0000 steel wool. A very light distressing was achieved along with a smooth satin finish.
Enjoyed the project?
