Antique Waterfall Vanity in White and Wood

FOR SALE: {SOLD}

I think I love this vanity.
I can't stop taking pictures of it.
This is what it looked like when I got it...
(Of course, in my excitement, I started sanding the top before getting a photo.)


While I liked the grain of the wood, I couldn't resist painting it.
I chose to paint it in ASCP "Pure White."


I couldn't bring myself to cover up all the gorgeous wood,
so I left the waterfall panels natural, sealing with a polycrylic.


I envisioned glass knobs on it from the beginning,
and they look so charming with the heavily distressed paint.


For as old as it is, the piece is in great condition,
sporting all the original wooden caster wheels. Love those!


The drawers are dovetailed in front and back, and they are lined with fabric.
Dimensions are: 44" wide x 66" tall x 19" deep.


And I have to include this picture of the best photo prop of all time.
She loves having her picture taken!


Have a wonderful day everybody!

    What a lovely vanity! Love the waterfall fronts. I think the combination of painted and unpainted wood is quite striking!

    I have always loved these "waterfall" style pieces. This is a great idea, keeping the wood top. I love the knobs!

    So pretty and leaving the top in the original wood was a stroke of genius. After seeing this I can't believe I let one of these go recently. I could just kick myself. Such a great blog, I'm a new follower!

    What kind of fabric did you use to line the drawers? I've got a waterfall vanity, aching to look just like this one!
