Im super bummed that i cant find a before pic of this vanity! Im normally pretty good at getting the before pics, i searched high and low and nothing to be found. Sorry!
But, im sure you can imagine the old brown stain that this was covered in making it look old – and not in a good way…
I gave the vanity a light sand just to smooth everything out, the tops were sanded down completely for some fresh stain. The stain i used on this piece was my homemade concoction of vinegar and steel wool that i talked about here. Every wood takes this solution differently – this is by far the favorite color i have gotten with my mixture.
All those little dots in the wood that you can see in the pic below just showed up when i stained it – i loved the look!
To distress the piece i used cabinet scrapers, i talked about those here. After it was distressed i glazed it, i talked about one way to glaze in this post.
After it was all painted and distressed, i clear coated everything in a satin finish.
The knobs are all the originals, i just didnt paint them.
I really love the way this piece turned out, the color is one of my favorites and i have used it on so many pieces since.

I'm just a semi- regular girl that cant get enough of decorating and then re-decorating! Painting my house and then re-painting my house! Not to mention all the DIY projects, my furniture refinishing business and my family that supports me along the way. 
I love this little vanity….the color is so perfect. You did a great job dressing it up with all the garden / farmhouse items. GREAT job.
the staging is one of my favorite parts :)
She’s absolutely gorgeous! I love your distressing technique. :)
