Divalicious! Modern Shabby Chic Vanity Table

Remember this vintage craigslist find?!

Well she got a makeover... as promised!

First, Van Gogh's Diva underneath, then Revenge on top for the distressing :)

 Let the distressing begin! 

I used a wet t-shirt distressing technique for this, and it turned out awesome!

Then cover up the gorgeous hardware with some more Diva... lovin' it!

And here we have the [almost] finished product! (I have plans on painting the grooves hot pink as well, but VG's Diva is a bit transluscent and will take several coats to get to a bright shade of hot pink, so I opted to grab some hot pink acrylic paint from the hobby store at a later time..)

The semi-final result...

I. Am. In. LOVE. <3

Vintage is the new New

There are three things that have changed since moving back to North Carolina. Appreciation for sweet tea, country music... and my newest addiction, french provincial furniture to furnish my new home! After taking chalk painting classes taught by Amy from the American Vintage Home Store and learning more about Van Gogh's chalk paint, I am now on the hunt for some amazing french provincial/Victorian furniture that I can keep busy with and turn it shabby chic to fit our furnishing needs.

First thing I bought at Amy's shop was this adorable antique wood school desk chair!
Not french provincial, I know, but I'm ok with taking chances learning on this piece of furniture first!

Next, I came across the perfect vanity table and chair for my daughter's room! A young, girl soldier from Bragg who didn't have time to finish her project and just wanted to find a new home for it. I got it at an awesome price!

I plan on chalk painting it with black, distressed with hot pink undertones and hardware to match my little girl's bedroom!

Ahhh, yes!!
