This was a builders grade oak last year when I painted it white. Still sooo blah, just not my style. I painted back over the stripes, did a faux granite on the countertop and stained/distressed the vanity. I plan on painting the grout lines, adding a frame around the mirror, adding "feet" to the vanity & some moldings to give it a custom look. 
Yes.. That board and batten IS straight. It's just the angle of the picture. 
I used nothing special on the vanity. I know some had said there's a kit you can buy but I am much too cheap for that. I wanted to use what I had on hand. I used regular sand paper that you can pick up at the dollar store for a $1. Roughed up the edges then stained a couple times with Rustoleum wood stain in Willow. I LOVE the way it turned out. 
Gross. Your house looks like a 80 year old blind nun designed it....
ReplyDeleteI love how you did your countertop! The candle really sets it off! You always have the best ideas. You've got me looking for faux fireplaces!!
