Before & After: Shabby White Vanity

We really took a great deal of care with refinishing this beautiful 1930s vanity. Made of pearl walnut, it had a lot of surface flaws and the ornately carved, two-tone wood finish was a quite a bit for the modern eye to take in. So we refinished it in white with extreme attention to preserve all of its beautiful details. We kept the original hardware as well. We think that the etched, beveled mirror really pops with the new white finish. And that the new, more neutral look of this piece makes it a perfect fit in a more eclectic bedroom!
