Vanity Makeover Step-by-Step Process:

Here is the full process and products I used to achieve this makeover! This vanity was a custom piece from a bomba** coffee shop owner in town and I was so excited when she said I just want it white, you do whatever else you want to it!

CLEAN AND PREP:

• Removed hardware, mirror and compartments inside
• Light sand to pull off chipping paint
• Cleaned entire piece with Simple Green
• Let air dry

PAINT:

• Painted three coats of Country Chic Crinoline Clay All-in-One Paint
• Let dry completely after each coat (24 hrs)
• The 3^rd coat I added a little water by taking a spray bottle and gave the vanity a little sprit of water and on my brush as well (Watering it down helps the paint glide on easier and cover any brush strokes from the previous coats.

DISTRESS:

• Distressed with 220 grit sanding block. I like to get a shoulder workout in! 
• I sanded the edges, the drawers, and under the handles until I revealed some of the wood underneath. Especially on the legs to pull out the detail of the curve.
• Removed dust from distressing using Simple Green.

DECOUPAGE:

• I really wanted the inside to have a pop to it so with that I order these floral napkins off amazon and decided to decoupage the inside of the drawers  and vanity!
• To decoupage you will need to pull off 2 of the the plys of the napkin, leaving only the decorated ply. Usually napkins are 2 or 3 ply.
• Grab some mod podge and lightly cover the surface in which you will place your napkin on.
• Lightly place your napkin onto the surface, grab some plastic wrap and start pressing down- working out all the air bubbles and lines.
• Let dry 48 hrs
• Cover with a clear poly or top coat.

OTHER DETAILS:

• For the hardware, I used the original hardware and added a gold shimmer to them with testors crafts gold leafing paint
