Room Design: Fixed up an Art Deco Vanity in Terrible Shape

I wanted an Art Deco vanity for my bedroom but I couldn't find one in good shape under 300 dollars or already painted

I picked this up, in pretty rough shape, from a women for 60 bucks

On my way home I found this vanity stool sitting out for garbage at my neighbors house, I swept that right up!!!

I sanded most of the cheap veneer with a palm sander and filled in a ton of cracks, chips and holes with wood putty

The drawers were full of mildew so I scrubbed them with a magic eraser

The brass on the original hardware was dull and again, mildew. I used brasso and soaked them for about 10 minutes. Be careful with brasso, it's VERY potent on the eyes. I then scrubbed them with a bristle dish brush to get them sparkly clean!

I used an oops paint I found at the store a while back, I'm just obsessed with this color white!! It's a flat paint so being that this is a vanity I sprayed the piece with rustoleum clear satin coat to ward against damage.

Got the piece upstairs and screwed on the mirror.

I ordered a bunch of different orange and white fabric on eBay, stapled them inside the drawers and painted the entire inside and outside of the drawers, I have left insides of cabinets and drawers the original color in the past and personally I don't like it. I'm just lazy sometimes or don't have time!

I did the same thing with the garbaged vanity stool, painted the legs, cleaned and covered the seat with one of the fabrics from eBay and voila! A beautiful vanity for my bedroom. I truly love doing my hair and makeup at this vanity
