**Rushmore ** Vanity & Upholstered French Bed

Hi Friends!
 
Shame on me!
Shame on me for keeping ya'll in the dark for over a month!
So so many exciting things have happened, and ive been sooo busy, blogging has been on the back burner.  I have many cool things to share with you but today im going to make this short and sweet and fast forward a bit to the present time :) and share a gorgeous piece of furniture.
 
 
 
 
If you follow me on Facebook then you already know that I have moved into (and we are now open ) to Deep Creek Vintage. I have tons to fill you in on about that but it'll have to be later ~ just short and sweet today ( in the meantime, definitely  go check out their site ~ here)! Earlier this week I delivered a Beautiful Vintage Vanity and a coordinating French Upholstered Bed. And im just so anxious to share with you some pictures , but trust me when I say these picture just don't do these pieces justice! If your local to Virginia then you simply must stop be Deep Creek Vintage, for a visit to see not only this Vanity but all of the other glorious furniture, vintage finds, reloved treasures, and handcrafted uniques we have!
I used American Paint Company's fabulous Chalk/Mineral/Clay Based Paint ( which is sold at Deep Creek Vintage) to complete the vanity and Bed.
Let me introduce to you the color Rushmore...
 
yep there's me!
 
 
 
                 
 
I love when I have the time to add a little hidden surprise in the drawers! In this case I painted the inside of the drawers with American Paint Company's Bordello.
 
 
I really lucked out when I found this  Ralph Lauren fabric on the remant table and Hancock fabrics! Talk about being at the right place at the right time! I only wish they had more.
 
 
 
Clear and Dark wax was applied and then buffed to a glossy shine.
 
 
 
I refinished the tops in a dark stain and sealed with a couple coats of poly. I had bought new hardware at Hobby Lobby but in the end decided to keep the original pulls. I do love antique hardware.

 
You can peek through the mirror to see the rest of my room at Deep Creek Vintage :) {or you could check of my page on Facebook ~here}
 I'll give you an official tour another day and I promise it'll be soon!
 
Until then have a Dreamy Day!
Erica
