It Was All Yellow

Recently we have been very busy packing up our house in preparation for our move. We have also been working hard on pieces to put in the booth so we don't have to move those pieces to our other house and then into the booth. We recently sold a teal dresser and very yellow vanity.

When we bought the paint, we wanted it to be mustard yellow. However, it turned out to be bright yellow. So we ended up with one very yellow vanity. Luckily, it was someone's cup of tea. This is a testament that things don't always go as planned when redoing furniture, but you just have to roll with it and paint again if needed. There have been pieces that we put in the booth and then decide that we actually do want to paint them. Then, we take them home and redo them. It could be something as small as a lamp or something as big as a vanity. Anyways, here are the during pictures of the pieces packed into our living room (due to the recent freezing temps):

This is a common scene in our house during the winter. Paint doesn't stick nearly as well or look as good when you put it on in the cold. Trust me.
Here is what the two pieces look like in the booth, starting with the teal dresser:
This dresser was missing a handle, so we bought these handles at True Value. They have a great collection of vintage-style handles for decent prices.
I told you it was seriously yellow. The stool had an ugly fabric on it, so we reupholstered it. You can find out tutorial in this old post. And here is what the booth looked like:
I hope you enjoyed a little sunshine vanity in your life! Stay tuned for a home improvement project that we did to sell our house and a new hobby of mine!
