Mod Podge! Facelift on the vanity...

What I have learned from Mod Podge:
1. Not recommended for perfectionists.
2. Not as easy as a project as you may think, or hope.
3. You should really have all the supplies before attempting.

This weekend I decided to strip the white paint and stain it. yaa!

Anyhow, it still looks quite cool with the air bubbles and wrinkles. Brian scored the Puget Sound marine maps from work. The desk I painted antique white. It used to be orange and green.

My Grandma's sewing machine

I painted it in 2003.

 Didn't even bother to do the inside.

Today, I finished it and I LOVE it. The inside is black as well.. (Oil rubbed bronze from Krylon)

I wonder when Ace Hardware is going to cut me off from spray paint purchases...

There was a time in my life that I loved tans, browns, browns, and more browns... They make me angry now!

Sprayed it with a black primer from Krylon and then Rustoleum's Deep Blue Gloss

The stencil was tough. I printed out the numbers on Word and the used an exacto knife to cut them out. Taped them to the can with electrical tape and dabbed white paint with a small paint brush. I did have to even up some blobs with a Q-tip...

Doorknobs and hardware

A few coats of black primer, followed by ORB and a poly to finish it up.

Oil Rubbed Bronze (satin) from Krylon is the final color.
