"BEFORE and AFTER" French Provincial Vanity Makeover! - Thrift Diving

I found this French Provincial vanity at the thrift store for under $10! It had some damage to the molding on the drawer and the top was scratched up. However, I knew this French Provincial vanity could be gorgeous with a DIY makeover. I went a little whimsical and my inner child is very happy with this "BEFORE and AFTER" furniture makeover! :)

For all you wood-painting haters, slow your roll and check out this mid-century modern dresser that I almost ruined too. ;) kzbin.info/www/bejne/nJbOiptojL9lnac

It looks gorgeous

[@anaimartin86]

Sooo, when I was 12 my mom was given a dresser very pretty white and detailed on the drawers. Well, I wanted that same exact pink colored you just did and I loved it. Now we passed it on to my daughter's and we didn't go back to the original white my mom did an antique look brown color. What I'm saying is we are all different and whatever color you like works some people just burn old furniture. =)

[@JNJ0205]

It was from the 80's, they'll get over it. I think you did amazing!

A creamy white with gold trim would look beautiful. But it's your piece to decorate to your liking. I'm wishing I could find a vanity for so cheap!

[@Muzikluvr724]

Earth Angel Marketplace on Facebook and your local Garage Sale pages on Facebook are great places to find wood furniture. 🙂. Many times it’s free.

[@lilmommalady76]

Earth Angel Also try finding a "Habitat for Humanity Restore". They usually have good furniture with lower prices.

[@kelleymariejones6388]

Earth Angel no matter what color you paint or stain it, it beats it being in the dump sites. As far as not being antique, this is 2019/2020, so technically vintage.

[@coronavirus4287]

Im so mad because in san jose ca theres so much free stuff like this but i dont have a truck:(

[@AlexBabcock-hw9iz]

I know this is really late but for those missing areas you can make a mold out of one of the existing pieces and make a replacement out of a variety of materials. Look up how craftsmen replace plaster molding in Victorian houses it's pretty interesting and you can use the technique to replace even very detailed pieces. Like on picture frames furniture or even use to make neat things to glue onto pieces you want to jazz up.

[@lisai1537]

Absolutely love this! Giving new life to an old piece that maybe out dated, even unsalvageable perhaps, or if it simply doesn’t fit/work with ones current decor design, I say there’s nothing wrong or “tabu-ish” if you want to paint it or add to it! That’s the beauty of owning a piece, it yours to love and enhance!!! And the beauty of being an artist, and yes Serena, you’re a brilliant artist, is that you created what “you” wanted to create which is a one of a kind piece that no one has. So to those that commented saying they’d never have done pink, that’s OK you’re not the one creating this piece of art, Serena is, it’s her masterpiece!! Can you imagine if Monet or Van Gough listened to others on their direction for “his” art, regarding color!?! I shutter to think! For those who commented oh I would have done this or I would do that. OKAY, great! Please show us your link for your KZbin Chanel so we can check out your creative work....What’s that?! Ohhhhh, you don’t have one...Mmm hmmm... exactly. 😏

[@cassidy8655]

At first I questioned the use of pink but I really love how this turned out.

[@alexisprojects]

I was against it, not the color, painting, but it turned out pretty well.

[@christinahighsmith4453]

My thoughts exactly, but I’m impressed with how it looks!

[@christinelanmon2852]

Not me, I love the color!!!

[@DeuceIsMyName]

Thrift Diving you did an amazing job, it is hilarious to read the comments of these pseudo wood restorers watching and commenting but doing nothing to preserve 20 year old "antiques". The piece was salvaged and came out beautiful, and the pink is actually very nicely matched with the wood top. Keep saving, repurposing, and inspiring the next generation of DIY'ers.

[@ThriftDiving]

Duece, yasss! Exactly! I'm thinking, "Okay, well, if you have a channel and can show people how you would restore an 'antique' 1980's vanity, then let's see it! I'll even be the first to subscribe!" :)

[@creativebobbo]

I love your channel. What you did with this vanity is nothing short of amazing. I'm a woodworker at heart and Thomasville was quality furniture back in the 80s. Your wing back chair playlist has inspired me. I inherited a wing back chair through my grandmothers' sister in law. My earliest memory of this chair was of her mother (the sister in law) sitting in it. Every time we saw her she would give me and my sister a dollar each which bought a lot of candy bars at the time. She was so old, she had a son that died in the Spanish American War. I have owned and cherished this chair for years and it is need of a ground up restoration. So I did the only logical thing I could do. I pulled the trigger on a SE 625. I have to make preparations to do this right. Thank you. Have you ever thought of raffling off some of your upcycled pieces to raise money for charity?

[@QUADacityLyfe]

This is my second video and I just have to say. This is exciting to see a woman do construction. It's just always the image of men doing these type of projects. I am motivated💪🏾💪🏾

[@LxstinNeverland]

Oh my gosh, this vanity is absolutely beautiful. I love every single bit. There's not one thing I don't like. It all works so well. The natural light brown wood, the light pink, the gold handles, the scrapbook paper. I truly love this!

[@ThriftDiving]

Awwww, Monica!!! Thank you, girl!! Comments like this make all that labor of love even more rewarding!

[@LashDiva5]

Gorgeous!!!! Here's the thing about Upcycling Furniture pieces, it is at the discretion of the Upcycler to create something different, exciting, and inspiring. She has done ALL of these things. Now if this piece did not do any of those things for you and your taste, that's OK too. But is it absolutely Necessary to be so critical? Sometimes, it's OK to keep your harsh comments to yourself and just move on. Love, Love, Love!!!!!

[@ThriftDiving]

I know, right?? If only haters would get so passionate about things that really matter. A piece of $10 thrifted vanity isn't that serious. Lol

[@tja_thomas]

Wow I’m just looking at the comments and I’m actually disgusted by the amount of people that feel the need to complain about something that they may not like. Wow you don’t like it move on to the next video. I am so sorry that people feel the need to degrade you for designing something that you seemed excited about! I hope that you put it in your house and I’m sure it looked very pretty because guess what it’s yours😂 I’m done ranting now❤️

[@ThriftDiving]

You're so sweet, thank you, Thomas! I know....people online can be so uncouth. But the good part is that the more comments, the more likes (and even the dislikes) shows KZbin that this is a project that sparks a response in people, so KZbin will show it to more people. :) And from the stats, it looks like waaaaay more people like it than didn't like it. So that's a good thing! I am using the vanity in my basement crafting office as a sewing table! :) I love the way it looks!

[@tja_thomas]

Thrift Diving yay! That’s so exciting. Lol I think that’s kinda comical that the comments are actually technically helping your channel lol😂😁 btw you’ve got me involved in fixing some of my old furniture ! And old desk that I love Oh and guess what I even PAINTED IT❤️ lol because it will be in my house since it was my grandmas who died in the 1990s (before people get mad it was already painted) I sanded it down and painted it white and black! It’s so pretty now thanks girl my grandma is probs proud of how it looks now thanks to you!

[@ThriftDiving]

Hey Thomas! Wow, that's awesome! I would love to see a picture of it! Email me a copy: [e-mail]. And you are right--even the negative comments help this video get more reach so I try to let haters be haters and just allow the views to pile up. HAHA! Glad that you're fixing up your old furniture! It's a lot of fun and breathes new life into pieces that don't really "go" with today's decor.

[@ThriftDiving]

Maroxa, you are right--people are cruel when they can hide behind screens, but they wouldn't have the guts to walk up to someone on the street or at a museum or a craft fair and say, "Hey, I think your stuff sucks." They know better and would be utterly embarrassed or appalled to even consider doing that. But online they can be as mean as they want because they think some large corporation uploaded or featured this. Nope, it was me. I'm a KZbin channel of one person. I see and read it myself. :)

This vanity is from 1980 so it is not an antique and isn’t even even a classic and it probably wasn’t even an expensive piece of furniture. She made it into something unique ... each to their own

[@ThriftDiving]

Yaaasssss, thank you, Thea! Some folks don't seem to understand that it wasn't that valuable of a piece of furniture to start with. It likely is more valuable now considering that most people prefer painted furniture over old brown furniture with scratches and broken trim. ;) If I were to sell it, I would definitely be offered more for a painted piece than a natural broken wooden vanity. :)

I have a similar vanity that I just painted. When you have oil you need to spray it with Zinnser (Bullseye) shellac. You can fix the trim with paper clay. Mold it over the existing trim then add where it's missing.

Lola Cookie I agree, If she had painted it green, people that hate green would have complained about the color. Same for people that hate blue, etc....Why is it so hard for people to just take things at face value? SHE painted HERS pink (I like pink), this wasn't ABOUT what color she chose, it was about learning the TECHNIQUE, then using that to paint our own "find" whatever color we want OURS to be. Common sense just doesn't seem so common anymore!😕

Omgosh so many negative comments how exhausting. First off we are talking about a wood piece here that is only 20-30 years old not some Victorian era heirloom. So stop clutching your pearls. 2nd it’s 2018 and not everyone wants a room full of drab cherry wood. 1980s with its wood paneling is calling you! Hell maybe some of you should add some color into your lives to brighten up those crap attitudes. 🤷🏼‍♀️ You don’t like the content go start your own channel.

You’re welcome! I’d love to paint my dining room table and chairs. And recover the seats. So I’m really going to be binge watching your videos for instructions! I want to do like the farmhouse gray. Also, could you make me a vanity too? Lol!

[@RenaGoss]

The desk Is so beautiful!!😍

[@katrinasani]

I found a vanity very similar to this one with the bench to it just sitting outside of a goodwill that was closed on a Sunday and there was a sign on the door that said "Do not leave items outside" so I put it in my car...both peices are in great condition...Now I have an idea what to do...I'll leave the top original and paint the rest white and reupholster the bench with some left over fabric that I have...I'll give it to my 29yr old daughter for Christmas😊...thanks for your wonderful recreation!

Thank you!! I’ve been searching on how to strip paint out the grooves and I would have never thought of using a small wire brush as you did!! great informative video. Love it!!

Yeah that was such a hot tip!
