It is thyme to show you how to transform an old bathroom vanity into a NEW one using Americana DECOR Chalky Finish Paints

You can easily re-purpose just about anything with a little imagination 

and

 some paint!

Instead of buying a new vanity I decided to transform it

 with a little help

 from my husband

and

Americana DECOR Chalky Finish Paint

These paints 

are 

wonderful to work with!

• Ultra-matte Chalky Finish
• Available in 29 vintage, intermixable colors
• Adheres to even the slickest surface
• Easier to distress than any other acrylic paints
• One-coat coverage with most colors on most surfaces
• Durable due to unique cross linking features of paint resin system
• Water-based for easy clean-up
• Made in the USA

My husband took the doors off of our "oak finish" vanity along with the top and sink.

He resurfaced the vanity right over the existing surface with beadboard.

This is the shell of the vanity.

I designed a new top for the vanity 

and

my husband made it

I first painted the vanity using

ROMANCE

Chalky Finish Paint

Be sure you purchase the best brushes 

and 

tools you can to insure an awesome finish!

Deco Art  carries a line of brushes for their chalky finish paints, waxes and varnishes.

After the 

RED 

Romance Chalky Finish Paint

was dry I painted right over it with

BLACK

Carbon Chalky Finish Paint

I then WET SAND using a FINE sanding brick.

This allows your base coat ( the red) to show thru.

You want to sand in areas that would normally show "wear" 

to give your piece a primitive look

I lighly sanded the doors where the knobs would go

and 

in a few areas on the top and sides

The RED paint will show thru that you painted first.

It is now thyme to finish your piece.

Deco Art

offers both 

Creme Waxes or Varnishes

 to complete your projects.

The choice is yours!

I used 

Clear Creme Wax

 to complete this project

I bought a COPPER sink and Black Oil Rubbed Bronze faucet for my vanity

My husband installed the sink and faucet

I added Black Wrought Iron hinges and painted wood knobs.

This was a FUN project to do!

I hope you enjoyed this tutorial !
