you're so vain.

you probably think this blog is about you.

well, it is! it's all about you, dear vanity.  you are complete.

remember what the big yellow monster looked like before?

look how purty we made her.

 

first i painted her antique white.  it only took two coats.

the only problem was, when we went to sand the edges of the vanity to give it that "shabby chic" look, the yellow just rubbed through instead of the wood.  so we improvised.

mom sprayed some gold spray paint on a paint brush and brushed that on the edges a bit:

 

poifect.

i also found some little glass knobs at home depot for three dollars a pop.  

the vanity didn't have any knobs when i found it, and i think these fit it perfectly.

the bullets on the knobs were silver so i sprayed them gold to match the rest of the room.

billy put them on for me last night:

there is other progress being made in the dressing room but i'll save that for another day. 

here is another nifty picture of the vanity though:

 

we found the mirror at home goods yesterday. i had a gift certificate from lisa leftover from christmas (thanks lees!) idn't purty?

the cool clock the previous owners left in the house.  

i know.  it's perfect for the alice theme. love it.

 

i like this picture too because you can see the pretty blue ceiling.

now let me employ the help of tucker to finish up this blog post with what you're really thinking:

"seriously?  

that's it? 

a stinkin' vanity?  

your story bores me.  

have a baby already."
