Antique Vanity

I almost don't want to say anything about this vanity.  It really is one of those pieces that you only get your hands on once in a lifetime (although I pray that's not the case!).  It's a beautiful piece and it was in very good condition (just some minor veneer issues on the inside panel). 

I was so excited to get to work on it that I forgot to take a before!  I can't believe I did that! 

The wood was beautiful.  It's made of mahogany, walnut, and maple.  I wanted to keep as much of it as possible, but still help all that detail stand out. 

I had a very hard time deciding what to do with it, so chose to keep it neutral.




 AFTER






The top was in such beautiful condition that I chose not to refinish it.  I used Minwax Antique Oil to revive and protect it. 



Same with these burled maple drawer fronts.  Just a little bit of oil and they looked amazing. I also chose to keep the original hardware.  I couldn't picture anything that would look more appropriate. 



 I also chose to keep the mirror frame natural and to contrast it by painting the spindles. 



 I painted the drawer fronts Hardware from Sherwin Williams and then painted the body and all the detail in my custom off white. 



 The feet are incredible and I glazed them to help the details pop. 








She is so beautiful.  Nuff said.

  3. WOW! I have never in my whole life seen such intricate design on a piece - I can see why you say "once in a lifetime" - it is AMAZING.

    I can't believe you don't have a before - but in this case, sure not needed. Beautiful work, Lisa.

  4. Wow that is a beautiful piece. You really don't see those often. I recently refinished my mother's old vanity and have been enjoying using it after bringing new life into it.
