Buffet Turned Bathroom Vanity

 
A while back, we got this beautiful, marble clad buffet at Loot on consignment.  When I first saw it, I thought it would make an ideal bathroom vanity. 


Surprisingly, this buffet did not fly out the door.  It sat at Loot for quite a while awaiting its perfect home. One day a local antique dealer, with a similar vision of repurposing, bought it for her new bathroom remodel.


She hired me to paint the base in a mix of French Linen and Old White Chalk Paint®. Annie Sloan's dark wax really made the details stand out on this piece. I love the trestle base and the carving on the legs. 


She could not find a sink she liked, so she repurposed one of her stainless steel bowls as a sink basin until she finds one she likes better.

Well hello dear friend!!! Hope you are keeping well!
I love this and you're right, the dark wax really adds texture to this! I have always liked the French linen colour but haven't purchased it yet. I'm wondering how much old white you added in it.
Hugs!

All my heart,
Deborah xo

Nicely done, Amanda! I really like the marble effect, although the rest is wood. Good work and keep on upcycling! :)
