  • Watch as I take apart a thrifted vintage waterfall vanity and repurpose it into beautiful boho inspired nightstands!
    In this video I used The Chippy Barn* Amulent Paint in the colour Eucalyptus with The Chippy Barn Specialty Wax in Clear.
    I also used my Black & Decker Orbital Sander, 80 & 220 grit sanding disks, Bondo, Zinsser Clear Shellac & Rustoleum Metallic Antique Brass spray paint.
    *Canadians, please be aware that The Chippy Barn does not have a Canadian Distributor. Costs will include a substantial shipping rate as well as customs & duties to import into Canada.

    Thank you for inspiring me to get back to redoing furniture. It is therapeutic and rewarding each time you finish a piece and someone else loves it enough to buy it.

    You do such a nice job on your pieces. Such a great eye for color and updating just enough to have them look fresh yet timeless and classic.

    Hi Katie well 11 months and quiet a few lockdowns later, my darling and very understanding husband made my Mum’s dressing table in to bedside tables. We are still in lockdown so the French polishing will have to wait.
    I sent photos to my children and sisters like me we are so so happy that we get to keep part of a piece of furniture that my Mum loved 🥰 🥰 🥰🥰

    never thought about breaking down a vanity into night stands! Love it!

    Wow... I've seen a lot of comments acknowledging this same thing, but you really pick the most perfect and stunning colors for your projects. They go so well with the style of the furniture. You have a vision for these things that is not common. I absolutely love everything I've seen of yours so far. I wish I could come up with ideas like that. New subscriber!

    I really like the size of the bedside tables. I would never have thought to cut them apart. Everything is so much bigger nowadays, but the older furniture can be much smaller and a better size for me (I'm 5' tall). Currently I live in a 1964 house. Even the ceiling is lower than most homes. But the small size of the bedrooms is the real issue. I couldn't fit 2 normal size bedside tables on both sides of my queen bed, they wouldn't fit. I have only one bedside table, which is fine because I live alone. However I would like the look of having 2, one on each side of the bed. Your remake of the vanity into bedside tables would work perfect for me. 35+ years ago I had a vanity that looked very much like the one on this video. I used it for my sewing machine because it fit on the middle lowered shelf really well. The drawers held notions and sewing stuff. I gave it away because I wanted a new fangled sewing machine and cabinet. Funny thing is I've never really liked the cabinet or the newer sewing machine (for 35+ years!). New isn't always better. In the past I may have thought you shouldn't paint over wood grain, but really I see now that if you know what you're doing with the wood and fixing damage, painting is such a good way of keeping a quality piece alive and well for years to come. I really love your work on all the videos I've seen and particularly these bedside tables. They would be perfect for my bedroom. Thanks for sharing your salvaged furniture on RUclips.

    This is beautiful. I love that you spend the time to make sure the finish is perfect. Not everything has to have a chippy paint finish as others think. Gorgeous, looks even more art deco than the original pieces. Great paint colour choice. Love it.

  • @deeanderson7358
    @deeanderson7358 4 года назад

    I loved this set as it was when you bought it, It reminded me of my great Aunt who had a set just like that but a mirror with the vanity. It was hard at first to watch you spray paint it for I like the original look but to fix it up, but when you were done it looked BEAUTIFUL. Well done girl, well done.

      I could have but that would have signifcantly limited my market for re-sale. My most requested item is tall, thin nightstands so I do my best to create as many as I can.
