Hello friends!
I forget how much I like a good white makeover. White often takes a little more work (with more coats of paint) and so I often avoid it if possible, but when I makeover a piece in white, I wonder why I don’t do it more often!
My client is using this piece as a bathroom vanity. She looked high and low for just the right piece with the right measurements, and found this old gem. It’s a beautiful piece, that just needed a fresh look.

We sanded down and re-stained the top. This is General Finishes Antique Oak Water Based Stain. Because this is going to be used as a sink top, I used two coats of boat varnish on the top, followed by two coats of Arm-R-Seal to give it a subtle shine. I’m pretty sure that top will last forever now.
The base got 4 coats of Snow White Milk Paint, and a little distressing finished the piece off just perfectly. We kept the handles that came with the piece, but sprayed them Oil Rubbed Bronze so they would pop.
I love this little dresser, and now so does my client!!
If you want to learn how to get this look, stay tuned!! My DIY video tutorials are coming out soon, and they walk you step by step through the process to get this look.
Until next time,
