I'm really pleased with my latest project. After the success of my display cabinet, I wanted something else to do.
Remember I gave you a little hint a while ago - now its finished!
Found in a charity shop! Unfortunately the wood was water-stained and not in very good condition. Hubby did the taking apart and sanding.
I did the painting.
Didn't have a proper dressing table in my guest room, and had been looking for something for ages. Didn't particularly like any of the modern styles I'd seen, as the room is quite ... vintage/old fashioned (not sure what the word is)!
Love the shape of its legs and the delicacy of it - sometimes older furniture can be quite bulky. Think the mirror is just lovely!
Kept it quite simple, but no doubt things will start to accumulate on it - I'm thinking old photos, sheet music, glass bottles etc - would be great for display. If I ever have a shop, that's what I would use it for!
Love, Liz

You've done a marvelous job Liz. Yes I'd definetely call it a very pretty vintage dressing table...it suits the room so well...lucky guests! It really reflects a lot of light back into the room too by the looks of it x
Liz it looks absolutely stunning now! (am also jealous of your serene looking guest-room. Do you do B&B?)
My dressing table accumulates finds at an alarming rate, can hardly see it anymore.

Your dressing table is so pretty - its worthy of a make-over feature in a magazine like Homes & Antiques.
P.S. Thanks for commenting and following my blog too - I thought I would return the compliment.
I was delighted with these two last posts of yours.
The dressing table had quite a change... so pretty and elegant now!
Congratulations for the team work with your husband.

It looks a picture. It’s a gift to have the vision of how it will look when re-vamped. You’ve inspired me to crack on with a project that’s been hanging over me for a while.
Good Morning Liz
