Garage sale find!!! $2 VANITY TABLE!!

[Hilly]

Ok I loooovveee art deco (40s era). Well I was at a garage sale and bought this old deco vanity table for TWO STINKIN DOLLARS!! I am fixing it up. It is in shitty shape, but it's keeping me busy.

First pic...it is covered in this slimy green primer. You scrape it off after 12 hours.

The drawers are all scattered about

Well after scraping a ton of paint off in layers, it was nice to find a mysterious hot pink layer lol. It is tho...the bain of my existence. It is a bitch to clean off.

I bought "Vanity Pink" paint...light baby pink and some cute old metal handles and shelving paper.

After two coats of paint! It just needs it's drawers, new handles, mirror, and shelf lining. I'm about 75% done!!
