Painted vintage vanity in pink and gold. Can I tell you that I hiked my butt all the way to Queens for this vintage vanity?  At the time it didn’t really seem like much at all.  It was missing the mirror, completely leaving its purpose questionable.  The original seller had sold it as a desk, but when I saw the rosettes inside, the gorgeous hardware, dovetail drawers, and straight lines I knew she had so much potential.

Once all the hardware, rosettes, and hinges were removed she was fully cleaned, prepped and ready to be redesigned. The prep work is always the most time consuming and least rewarding part but once it’s done the fun begins!

Adding a New Mirror in the Painted Vintage Vanity

Since this is supposed to be a vanity, a custom mirror was cut for inside.  I was a bit nervous for this part since its a one shot deal.  I made sure to take the recommendation from the mirror and glass company and used their product to adhere the mirror inside. They informed me that using the wrong product down the line could eat away at the mirror silver and eventually ruin it..  who knew?

When it came time to attach the mirror I took the extra precaution and laid down the piece, measured, leveled, attached and taped to make sure that it wouldn’t shift or move while drying.  Once I knew it was secure I stood her back up.

Painted Vintage Vanity Makeover

She was painted a custom mixed soft pink with light pink on the drawers.  The hardware was thoroughly cleaned and refreshed to gold.  A very subtle gold hue goes all around the top trim of the piece.

She was then distressed to perfection bringing attention to all the straight lines.

A last minute decision was also made to line the drawer with this gorgeous lyrical print in shades of gold which works perfectly with the gold hardware and style of the piece.  This print can be found here through my affiliate link.Fabric lined drawer, decoupage, fabric decoupage

    This was such a great piece to begin with but what a beautiful transformation! Love what you did on the inside as well. That might be my favorite part!

    Love this piece, it’s gorgeous. I would love something like this down the road. It’s too big a statement piece for my current room (where I use a glass desk so it’s less obstructive) but it’s something to think about 🙂

    Though I’m not usually a big fan of pink, I really can’t imagine this desk in any other color. Also, I really like your monochromatic color scheme. Congrats on your Furniture Fix Feature!
