Vanity Bench Enhanced

 Darlins' this month has been c-r-a-z-y. I am proud to share a sponsored project with The Fab Flippin' Furniture Contest. Pure & Original USA was kind enough to provide the paint for this contest. Thank you to our kind hostesses for this month Carrie from Thirty Eighth Street & Stacy from Anastasia Vintage
 I chose one quart of Classico regular White Island and another of Blue Reef. Pure & Original describes the paint as a matte powdery look made with natural pigments. Just the finish I was looking for on my vanity bench at the Dragonfly Pad.(lake house)

Aren't the colors as just dreamy as the titles. The perfect selection to add this months  theme "Original Elegance" to my vanity bench.

I bought this beauty at an antique market. Although she was nice, the sewing cabinet I found and converted into my vanity needed an added boost of elegant color.

I sanded the finish to give it some tooth then blended the 2/3 White Island to 1/3 Blue Reef for a base coat. The top now seat of cane was not easy but, worth the effort to get all those little dots filled with the custom color. I dry brushed the White Island on the cane to make it pop. The original lines highlighted by these soft cottage shades create an elegant piece.

Next a layer of Blue Reef swept over the rest of the table/stool gave a soothing cool feeling to the piece. It reminds me of a wispy clouded blue summer sky.

To finish the piece I used an extremely light grit sanding pad. She sure looks pretty in my bedroom next to my vanity nightstand. The light fixture reflecting in the mirror is a great find at the same antique market above. The light dancing around the room from the crystals of the tiny chandelier are the perfect shimmer to the begin or end a day at the lake. Everyday a girl should get her sparkle on!

On top of the vanity my grandmothers antique pink makeup organizer. (we call her Nana). I pray every night to grow-up to be like her one day.  A few books in between heart shaped bookends with a candle ensures sweet dreams. This chippy sewing machine cabinet with a shell pull on it makes a terrific vanity/nightstand. Shelly came to me aging beautifully. In another post I will share the secret ingredient I used to clean her up.

Island White and Blue Reef  combined to a silky beach worn finish perfect way to help end my days at the lake.
