Washstand Makeover

There it was... boring, outdated, longing to feel youthful again. I noticed it, but I told myself “I have enough stuff.” It only took about 30 minutes before I had to go back to that yard sale. I was hoping they still had it!  I’m sure the excitement on my face was obvious as I was showing it off to some friends, but they didn’t seem as excited… WHAT!! 

Before

 I have to admit I hated the heart shaped drawer. I thought about the ways I could cover up that eyesore. And the drawer pulls… I liked their vintage country feel, but thought about updating them….

I took the wire off and spray painted them white…. I hate using spray paint… in my eyes it’s just so wasteful, but at times... so useful.

Originally I painted it yellow…. but that wasn’t working!! Yuck!!

The hardware stayed original. I liked the way it looked after I found the RIGHT paint color. And that heart shaped drawer…. I ended up liking it too.

After some distressing and putting it back together I took a step back to take a look….

I LOVE IT!!!

After

What do you think?

The color in the picture is a little more bright than in person. I thought about painting the inside or putting some fabric behind the wire, but decided I like the natural look shining through.

 The horn part also comes off, so I can use it without that if needed :)

 This green/blue color was a mess up paint, so it was discounted :) I had to retire the color because it has been used way too much in our house… It’s just perfect for everything, hehe. 

This project was around $15.00 and that makes me SMILE :)
