Here is the 'after' on this cute little dry sink basin. I guess to fully appreciate the after you'd need to see the 'before'.....
Here she is in her dated, a little too dark and gloomy for my taste, look. Plus those gold drawer pulls had to go!
I filled the drawer holes with a wood filler and drilled one new hole in the center to make room for my lovely vintage glass knobs. I'll cry when I run out of those! (I got 20 at an estate sale for $25 bucks!)
I also attached a piece of fabric to give it a unique look. A spray adhesive works really well. Also just a quick tip, cut a piece of fabric that has a little extra on all sides, then use an exacto knife to get the exact cut around.
A closer look at the distressing. I painted this piece Swiss Coffee by Benjamin Moore. That gallon has lasted a long time!!
Happy Painting ya'll!
Oh yes, I appreciate the after! Well done!

I love this! I saw one just like this at a garage sale and now I'm pinching myself for not buying it! I guess I have to cut my losses when I drive a Civic! It's got just the right amount of distressing and the knobs add such a classic touch :)
ReplyDeleteI just bought the exact same dry sink at a yard sale for $20 and I'm going to paint it white. Now that I see yours I can't wait to get going on it; it looks fantastic!! It's my first time here but I'll be back.

this turned out beautiful. love the distressing.
ReplyDeletewow!
ReplyDeleteSo while debating on painting my drysink I found this blog! I have almost the exact same drysink! It was my great Aunt's that my parents gave me years ago. Mine has a more curvy front piece (matches the top), four knobs instead of three pulls and curved cabinet doors. Otherwise, the tob, sides and feet are the same! I am convinced now that I want to paint mine and distress it. I have nice brass fixtures (old patina) so I want a warmer color than white. You did a great job though! I love it!!
