vanity, vanity

a little while back we were looking around shopko

there's not much to do in pullman

and i spotted this vanity marked down from $200 to $30

not that i had ever needed a vanity..

but who doesn't want one, really?

it looked like it was red on the box

which i thought could be cool

but it was actually a dark mahogany when we got it home

and the bench had a super ugly cover

and a super bad knob

so first thing i did was reupholster the bench

(sorry for the way it completely clashes with our curtains

i almost can't stand the picture because of it)

and i liked the new cover

but the mahogany still did not go with our style

so....

this is how i transformed it

a little white paint 

actually a lot 

a silvery gray linen fabric to upholster the bench

a new pretty knob

and...

now i love it

it's in our bedroom for now
which is great

but it might end up in the nursery 

as a changing table
