Today’s interesting article is about the radical transformation of one vanity table dating back, believe it or not, to the 1940s. Its initial state left a lot
to be desired and no single one believed it would ever be restored and brought back into life.

A dilemma appeared: to throw it away or renovate it giving a second chance to be utilized. The second option was chosen. The master desired to
make it a modern piece of furniture but maintain its unique charm and vintage allure at the same time.

The first thing he did was to prepare his workspace and gather essential tools such as a sandpaper, paintbrushes and cleaning supplies. He also
had to sand the surfaces in order to get the smooth texture and the most desirable results.

I found this vanity on a local barter and trade site for $50. I’ve been looking for a vanity for a long time and bought this one to make into something I’d love and use.

The veneer had damages, but the vanity was in tack. I knew I’d first remove the veneer.

Removing the veneer.

I tried using heat to release the veneer, but found the most productive way to get it off was picking and peeling using straight edge razor and various putty knives. Not the most fun part for sure. Some peeled in strips, some areas I had to pick tiny pieces at a time. I’m sure someone has a better method, but this worked for me.

Most veneer off.

Getting down to the bare bones.

After removing all veneer, I sanded. Getting down in all the cracks and crevasses took patience. I sanded it even more after this to get the wood as fresh looking as possible. My best advise here is sand, sand, and sand some more. When you think you sanded enough, go sand it more.

Stain!

I carefully stained the piece. I used a grain defining stain. Because of the variation of types of wood it gave a variation in color I was happy with. I did all the same steps with the topper that holds the mirror.
