Hello blog family! Let's kick off the week with a remarkable piece over at 551 East Furniture Design that will surely invoke many shades of envy.
Julia from 551 East Furniture Design is exceptionally talented. Her business is restoring furniture, and she is a pro! I found her blog by way of a weekly linky party. I spotted her Bohemian vanity right away! I loved it, I pinned it, and couldn't get it off my mind so now I'm sharing it with you!
Julia scored this vanity from a local auction. It was originally all black, and she had a vision to lacquer it in a golden/mustard yellow. Once Julia started sanding the top, an amazing bright green started to show. I can imagine exactly what she felt that moment, giddy at the gem she might have stumbled upon.
What a unique piece! And I love the original hardware. I agree with Julia, the natural water ring she uncovered is a perfectly aged blemish that adds to the character of this Bohemian vanity.
I am so smitten with what Julia discovered, simply by peeling back a layer! Hop on over to Julia's blog to see how she distressed and protected this beautiful Bohemian vanity!
