Dated Dresser to Farmhouse Vanity

By Jen in Tallmadge, OH.

This piece began as a well-worn pine dresser that I repurposed into a farmhouse style bathroom vanity. After templating for the sink and sanding down completely, I stained the top with General Finishes Antique Walnut gel stain, followed by 3 coats of High Performance Satin Topcoat. The bottom is painted with Benjamin Moore Aura in Nocturnal Gray. I was able to salvage the existing pulls for the center doors, but replaced the drawer pulls with new hardware.
