This vanity was purchased from a thrift store and painted with a mix of Annie Sloan Chalk Paint. I used approximately one part Louis Blue and two parts Provence, which mixed to a lovely pale turquoise.
The vanity was given a coat of Annie Sloan Soft Wax, buffed and distressed.
The hardware was sprayed with a light coat of Rustoleum Satin Nickel.
The drawers were lined with some decorative paper I had on hand; perfect match--I love when that happens.

After.
This vanity will go in the guest bedroom, which is also turning into my girl cave.

sooo pretty! did you wax it or did you poly it after distressing? it looks like it has a nice sheen to it and it made me curious. very glam- love it, katie!
Stunning...beautiful redo!
Very very pretty in blue. The sprayed handles go so well with the color too.
Beautiful color! Did you brush this or spray it? I'm trying to get brave enough to throw my chalk paint in the sprayer.
Katie, that is one PERFECT color! It looks great!
