Vanity done? Check..

YAY!

Ive finished number 1 of 72 tasks on my ta-do list..The first up was my own vanity I recieved as a wedding gift 119 years ago..doing the math? YES! That does mean Ive had it  boring for a very long time.  I just left it and the 2 matching dressers alone.....until now...inspired by my now-navy-and-not-red bedroom and Im also taking advantage of this crazy motivation I have right now to do all things at once. So, I started here and turned this:



Into....





 


I had originally decided to paint the furniture a light brown-yellow-y color..(Like the legs are right now) and I did...but then, the more I painted my room, the more the same light brown-yellow-y color of all of trim stood out more and more. I also ordered new curtains and when they got here and all hung up.. the same light brown-yellow-y color..All looks amazing...but it would have been toooo much. So, bring in this rose oops paint color from HD and its loooove. I also recycled and put to work an old bi-fold shutter door thats perfectly distressed and shabby..


Yes, that is my sleeping Bunny in the reflection



I love it...and its for me, which is weird because normally I dont get to live long with my completly painted pieces since they sell pretty quickly or they already belong to someone..Now, I just have to talk The Mister into letting me paint his dresser (part of this set) the same rose color...Im trying to sell it as a "maculine pink"...Im not holding my breath...
