Ensuite vanity project :)

One day I had this crazy idea about getting an old dresser and making a vanity out of it. Blame pinterest lol.

I hunted for a while and saw this one at a second hand furniture store. It was painted cream and had some awful lino stuck to the top. Initially I thought it was too low for what we wanted but after looking at a few vanities in stores, I realsied that it wasn't, so went back and bought it. The frame that held the mirror on had split the timber so we cut that off and the mirror will be mounted on the wall.

Today I started stripping the paint...

These handles are absolutely GORGEOUS! The detail was disguised under so much paint! They had painted blue at one stage too.

Sooooo anyhow now that they have been stripped back, I'm not sure if I want them timber coloured. Mostly because there isn't much contrast between the timber and the handles...I think I'll paint it white again lol but in my defence the paint job was really awful!
