Well, I don’t know about that….
But I was willing to take that chance when I found this darling piece!
I’m so excited about this addition to my daughter’s room and
could not believe how perfectly it fit the bill.
The best part? Someone had already lovingly restored it saving this mama a lot of time and energy!
Check out what the top surface looks like. I just adore the damask detailing!
But, as it is currently in the room of a not quite 4 year old, it will probably get a nice piece of acrylic over it as protection against the inevitable. You know…crayons, markers, gum (don’t get me started on that one!) and probably a whole host of other things I could never predict but you KNOW they will happen!
And here are some more details…
And it just keeps getting better! The seller had already lined the drawers with music sheet paper!
Discovering this Dovetail joint was definitely an added bonus!
And check out these gorgeous drawer pulls!
This sweet vanity came with a darling little swivel stool.
But it just wasn’t living up to its full potential.
And it definitely wasn’t going to work in a little girl’s room!
So, it got covered with my favorite new fabric
Plus a thin layer of plastic for added protection against all of the possible ways an almost 4 year old could destroy budget-busting fabric!
Here is a close up of how it all looked once it had been stapled onto the stool.
The little Miss has already discovered the thrill of spinning herself silly on that little stool!
So, will this vanity make her vain?
I doubt it, considering her first order of business was to say,
“Let’s play ‘Library’ mommy! I’m the lady and you have to come get your books here!”
Who needs vanity when there are books to check out?
Thanks for joining me at the Fence today,
This post is partying at the following places:
What a great find! The vanity is so pretty with wonderful details! I love the fabric you recovered the stool with!
Absolutely gorgeous!! Reminds me of the one my daughter used to have in her room. I still can’t believe I gave it away. 🙁 Love that fabric.
Enjoy it all, especially the reading time together.
Much love!
What a lucky little girl! I might have just saved this beautiful vanity for myself! It would be a great place to display my tiaras! Just kidding!
Every little girl needs a vanity, and every mommy needs a break when it comes to redo-ing them. really sweet, she’ll love it!! xoxo Debra
Oh swoon! I just absolutely love it. Wouldn’t you have wanted it as a child? Or even now?
…and don’t forget stickers…at least in my house! this is a lovely piece and your daughter is one lucky girl.
That is adorable! So pretty! Lucky little girl and that fabric is beautiful!
OMG Vanessa that piece is gorgeous!! I love it and what a cute little stool to go with it and the fabric you added is fabulous! It looks perfect in your daughters room. Martina
That is just gorgeous! Love everything about it, even the fabric!
Ooh la la! What a fantastic find and I love that fabric. Did you ladies get a new header for your blog? I love it!

Have a great day!

What a great find! I love all the details in the piece. So pretty!
This is SO pretty! I have so many mirrors in my house, I sometimes wonder if people are going to think it is because of vanity! I actually hardly ever look in them (except the bathroom one of course)…I have them because I just love the way they sparkle and bounce light around. This one is such a lovely place for a young girl to sit and dream!

That is so amazing! I especially love that it was already restored! I love the fabric you used for the stool! So great 🙂
Oooh, love it!!! The stool fabric is so adorable, it is a perfect match. 🙂
Love the vanity. I came across the perfect vanity in a beautiful antique store about six months ago and didn’t buy it. I still am kicking myself about that. I love yours and the new fabric is adorable. Good idea to protect it. What a darling addition to your daughter’s room.
I love that vanity. So jealous! I love the style of this room, that yellow toile is so pretty too.
I just discovered your blog. I live in Central Kentucky (Lexington), and my daughter lives in Syracuse, NY, and we have a blog together called The 2 Seasons. We are having a lot of fun with it, too.
That is the most beautiful piece of furniture I’ve ever seen! So jealous!
ALL of your projects have turned out so beautifully! Do you have a link to your finished kitchen? I can’t find it:(
Great find on the vanity…I have one and it could certainly use some refreshing. I love the white. I guess I haven’t visited for a while because when I got here I couldn’t believe your new blog design. Well done! It looks incredible. You and your sister are so talented…and so lucky to have each other. I’ll try to come back for Inspiration Friday. Hope you are having a great week! ~Ann
That is one fabulous vanity…vain or not!
Oh how pretty. It’s so perfect. The color, the sheet music used to line the drawers and the little stool. What a great find.
I’m so glad you linked up your daughter’s gorgeous vanity. It’s so beautiful!!
Wow, Vanessa that piece is in such great shape. Love the fabric you covered the stool in, too. Thanks for joining the party!
Absolutely darling. Great find.
I love this! A vanity that she can enjoy now and forever. And the new fabric you chose for the stool is perfect. So glad your daughter liked it!
And thanks so much for always supporting my work and my blog! It’s been forever since I finished a project and can’t wait to party on Friday :).

Adore the details you did on this piece.
What a fantastic find!
Fantastic work on this piece.
I love the color.
Love it all! What a fantastic find. But I’ve gotta say that the library comment is the very best part! That love of books and “pretend” will take her far!
Wow love this so pretty!
Super super sweet Vanessa!
What a beautiful vanity Vanessa!! I love all the little details, they are so sweet and so perfect. I can see many hours of hair brushing here. 🙂
This is just stunning! Love the lining of the drawers.

What a sweet piece and I just love it. That is some sweet fabric on the stool too.
Be a sweetie,
Shelia 😉
Adorable, the style and colors are so sweet! The vanity and stool are perfect for a sweet little girls room! 🙂
Hi Vanessa, This vanity is adorable and how great someone had already transformed it. I can see your daughter as a teenager still using it. Thanks for linking up to my party.
Hugs,
Sherry
What a great piece Vanessa! Perfect for a little girls room & it can grow with her.
