I have to admit that I promised my hubby, my family, AND myself that no more furniture was to enter into my possession until I cleaned out my workshop. BUT…. (there’s always a but, right?) pieces just have a way of finding me and beckon me to purchase them. Is it my fault they’re feeling unloved? tsk. Enter in this vintage dressing table…
THE REVEAL
Licorice Stick gloss red to be exact. However, only minor sanding and a bit of veneer repair was needed as prep work.FABRIC
Isn’t it fun?! I love what I do and that my client fell in love with it.
Likewise, if you’re interested in a custom piece, just send me an email or head to my online shop a let me know what you’re looking for.

Additionally, I’d love it if you would pin and share my vintage dressing table makeover.(because it’s fun!!)

What a great makeover! Love it!
I don’t normally go for red – but you really did a terrific job, Larissa! Congratulations! It really is a show stopper!
Love it! Pinned!
WOW! What a fun transformation. I love the modern red!
Fantastic! And I really love the bench that goes with the unfinished piece in your shop…is that original to the set?
Nice work!

Wow! That’s an amazing makeover. I love the other one you have for sale also 🙂
Hi, hopped over from Jeanette at Creating a Life. that is really some statement piece now! Love the b&w fabric against the red. The mirror on the last set is fabulous! Happy to be a new follower.
hugs,

me know,
lauren
We have the same piece! Would love to know more about it!
I just purchased a piece like this today, exact same styling but a little different setup. No name anywhere on the piece so I am wondering who is the maker/manufacturer of the piece you did. If you could find out and let me know I would greatly appreciate it!
Thanks-
Paige
Hi Paige! Sounds like you scored a good one. Unfortunately, it is typical to not find any markings on Mid Century pieces, and the same was true for me with this one. I have no idea who the manufacturer was – sorry! I also have two other vanities in my collection that are unmarked. I wonder what they were thinking? :/ Let me know if you find out! 😀
WAY COOL! LOVE IT! 🙂
Good Morning!
I love all of your work – the amazing creativity just makes me want to give up my day job and go Prodigal!
Im from South Africa – and your paints and products are strange to me. What do I look at when I try and match yours with ours?
Kind Regards
Nuri
Hello! Thank you for stopping by, Nuri. I don’t know the extent of your resources, but sometimes you can go to a paint store and they can look up a color and color match it. Not sure what else to tell you other than matching it yourself. Sorry! 🙂
Stunning, absolutely stunning! Just watched the DVD of ‘Unsinkable Molly Brown’ with g-daughter Emily. The living room in their Denver mansion was completely red!
hahaha…that’s awesome! Thanks, Bonnie.
It really turned out beautiful. Wish you could redo mine, but it’s in Alaska
That could be a problem. 😉 Thanks for the love!
I have several pieces to paint myself, I have redone a few pieces small pieces for my own home one was a 4 poster twin bed in red chalk paint with black wax, and getting ready to do a small dresser to match. The red is a very fun color. I am thinking about painting and selling some pieces and was wondering how to go about pricing pieces such as vanity’s, also 3 piece antique bedroom sets and 4 and 6 piece table and chairs.
Any info would be greatly appreciated
Best thing to do is look at local markets online and physical shops to compare. Figure in your hours/materials spent, what the item would be worth redone, and go from there. Hope that helps!
