Step 1

First we had to remove all the handles. Than the big job started to get the thick layers of paint off. I used paint stripper.

Hi @Belindaplumley,

Thank you for sharing your vanity table upcycling project.

It is a wonderful example of turning a dated piece of furniture into a beautiful new piece thus saving it from landfill.

A good amount of sanding, some paint, and a few unique touches have done wonders, and this vanity table will look beautiful for years to come.

Congratulations on a wonderful project.

Jacob
