Vanity

We wanted a vanity cabinet to go with our new vessel sink, and didn’t care for the stock ones.  We found this bureau in an antiques mall.  It was in perfect condition with three working drawers.  I removed the hardware, then painted the base in a “shabby chic” look, using a yellow undercoat and a white overglaze that I then wiped.  The top was a sort of sponging on of various shades of green, and a few coats of a blue glaze.  The very edge I oil gilded with 23k gold leaf.  I then poured an epoxy resin over the top, to give it a hard, glossy finish.  That is a very touchy process, and I did not have perfect success, but overall it achieved the result.  In this picture, the holes have been drilled for the vessel sink and faucet.
