I have great friends. This vanity was taken from a dental office that's being remodeled. The owner asked if anyone wanted it and my friend said, "Well, I don't, but I know someone who would!" Lucky me! When I popped the back off to take the mirror out the back of the mirror was stamped with Jan 17, 1924-- made by Windsor Furniture Company out of Chicago. Before you yell at me for painting it, it was pretty rough (looked like someone had repeatedly stabbed it with a screwdriver) and the insides had been replaced at some point...so I didn't feel too badly about doing my thing. :)
Before
Wow, you can totally see all of my mess (actually, only part of it is my mess!) and I almost forgot to take a before pic cuz I was so excited about this one. :)
After
The tops really turned out gorgeous
I just love how the glass knobs feel on this one (tried a few others, but these were my favs).

The inside was a surprise...love the little drawers.

ReplyDeleteWow, I just looked at this today. Beautiful. And why keep something old and ugly, (not to mention dry and smelly) when you can give it beautiful lines and put it to use.
