Painting Your Bathroom Vanity
Don’t make the same mistake like me and have to paint your vanity twice!! Our vanity isn’t too old because our house was built in 2007 so I didn’t feel like it needed to be replaced. It just needed a little love. I decided to paint it and change out the hardware. I painted it Oyster Bay first which is a very pretty color but didn’t fit the look I was going for so I had some Benjamin Moore Hale Navy in our garage and painted it that over the Oyster Bay! I love how it turned out. We also replaced the mirror and I’m hoping to do some more fun stuff to this bathroom so stay tuned!!
1 Before
2 Took off the cabinet doors to sand and prime and paint
3 Tape around the vanity before I paint so I don’t get it on the walls
4 primed it with kilz after I sanded it with a sand block
5 First cost of Oyster Bay
6 priming the cabinet doors on a drop clothe
7 Wasn’t what I was wanting.

Love the navy! The new mirror is a modern and trendy take on the original. It looks fantastic!

You did a great job. I also love the navy. Looks great. What I like to do is three coats of a water based polyurethane on anything I paint (except walls). Added protection of the finish.
