In the middle of my bedroom “re-do”, that is on hold until I pick out a new wall color, I came up with a fantastic idea for our master bathroom. We have a walk-in closet in our bathroom with lots and lots of storage, which is somewhat unnecessary for our little family of two. My idea is to remove a few of the shelves in the closet & put the vanity inside. I am so excited for this reveal! A makeup vanity in a closet.. My own little space to get ready everyday.. Can’t wait to show you! In the mean time, I found the perfect vanity, and by perfect I mean it fit in the closet.. nothing else was perfect about it.. until now….
This is the vanity that will be in the closet… I’ve fallen in love with this powder blue vanity. Here is the vanity before….
I had to fix the drawers, and there were a ton of little flaws in the wood that needed to be fixed, & it’s still not perfect, but I like things like that. I fell in love with the legs on this vanity… Other than the perfect size that’s why I chose this vanity.
To achieve this color I layered many different blues and greens. I am really happy with the final color, it’s exactly how I wanted it. A somewhat “Powdery Blue Green”. The color reminds me a little of Tiffany Blue, perfect for a girly vanity.
The mirror has a lot to be desired. Since this is an antique, the mirror has seen better days.
I decided to keep the original hardware. I felt it looked best & being painted the blue color they blend in nicely.
Hope you all enjoyed my Makeup vanity “makeover”. & Thank You all for all the wonderful birthday wishes this past friday. My weekend was wonderful, my amazing friends here in NC & all my friends and family back home in MI made my birthday wonderful even though the hubby was out of town. What have you been working on this weekend? Go link up your projects on Liz Marie Blog Facebook! I would love to see what you are working on… Hope you all had a fantastic weekend!!

I absolutely adore that vanity! What a great find.
I have the same exact vanity. My Maw Maw gave it to me when I was young. Love the blue. Mine's white right now. I also have the chest of drawers that goes with it.
It really turned out darling! The color is great! You are a very talented young woman.

love painted vanity. there is something very feminine about it. even better, i love vanity painted in gorgeous blues, like yours. am decorating my bedroom now and i have a huge dark dresser, am, too, thinking to give it a "treat".
Oh Liz, I love the color. Well Done. I see you haven't posted for a few days. Hope you are well and smiling. Happy Friday Hugs! P.S. have you made it over to my new location?
With three kids I can't imagine having an excess of closet space but I love that you found a way to make that space more useful, and pretty. The vanity is lovely.

Beautiful!!! I love it! I saw a dresser in a really similar style to your vanity at the thrift store recently and really wanted to buy it and paint it, but I passed . . . and now I'm REALLY regretting it, seeing how great yours turned out! Maybe I should go back and see if it's still there . . .

That color is to die for! My daughter has one I bought over a year ago and haven't refinished yet because 1 I'm scared to death of the lead paint lol, and 2 I can't decide on the right color! This is PERFECT! I would love to have you share this at my VIP party this weekend =) http://designergarden.blogspot.com/2011/04/vip-party-10.html
Wow! This is SO lovely! The color is perfect! I have an old vanity, my parents bought it thrifted when I was young and I used it my entire childhood. When I moved out, I left the vanity at their house and was recently thinking of getting out of storage and passing it down to my daughter. Yours is so lovely, I'm inspired to paint mine blue too!
Thanks for sharing! Best, Michelle
