Makeup Vanity Make Over

Our 13 (now 14) year old daughter wanted her own makeup vanity table.  Knowing the chances of her spilling something and our adversion to painting an antique we came across this....

It wasn't in too bad of condition.  The entire piece was sanded and painted and came out looking like this
The stool, which I did not get a before picture of unfortunitly, I wanted to be as unique as she is.  Lucky for me I had fabric left over from her room make over 2 years ago. After almost 5 hours of cutting strips of fabric and sewing it turned out exactly how I envisioned it would~ she said it looked like a cupcake!


I got the inpiration for the top from how to shag pillows from vanessa christenson   Our daugher has a unique piece of furniture in her room that she adores and we are thrilled with the end result.

  1. an excellent reuse of a piece of furniture! the stool is definitely one of a kind! It shows how a little money, a bit of sweat, a creative, artistic mind and good old fashioned ingenuity will not only save a little space in a landfill but give a one of a kind daughter a one of a kind addition to her bedroom!
