Then I cleaned it off with Mineral Spirits. After putting in a load of laundry and doing other chores, I went back downstairs and the varnish scraped off easily. I applied the Citristrip with a chip brush and then wrapped it in plastic wrap to keep the Citristrip activated. To strip the old varnish off the top of this dresser, I used Citristrip Paint Stripper.
Once it was clean and dry, I scuff-sanded the entire dresser with an orbital sander and a 180 grit sandpaper. Once the hardware was off and safely stashed, I went ahead and gave the inside and outside of this waterfall dresser a good cleaning with this TSP substitute. I can’t tell you how many times a knob or handle has gone MIA.

I love how they turned out. And my husband will be glad that I’ve finally cleared some space out of the garage. (Originally I used a much paler yellow and it could barely be seen, and I had polka dot yellow and white knobs from Anthropologie but they were way too small for this piece.) I’m glad I waited. I started this makeover last summer and got stuck – so it sat untouched all winter in my garage until I was confident in the design. (The yellow varies slightly in the pictures due to the lighting of the area I was in at the time.)
On the sides of the drawers I used a stencil to add a fun surprise! (It’s a Moroccan stencil turned sideways.)įinally I had to drill holes for the new glass knobs I bought from Hobby Lobby, and I protected the vanity with Annie Sloan’s clear wax. I taped around the edges of the drawers with FrogTape and then sort of freehand-painted panels of English Yellow Chalk Paint (see below). Overall I liked the look of the original white, so then I painted the entire thing in Old White Chalk Paint by Annie Sloan. (You can see it if you look closely at some of the pictures below.) I wanted a gently layered look. I sanded the piece first, and then brushed on some Provence Chalk Paint randomly over certain areas, mostly the lines and edges.

However, it was painted sloppily with latex paint and I could easily chip it off with my fingernail. When I bought this waterfall vanity at a yard sale last year, it was already painted white. This month’s theme is “bright.” With sunny days here and winter finally behind us, I could definitely use a little cheering up with bright and fun makeovers.
