Lots of detail went into this project! These vanities are often handed down from generation to generation, and sometimes we feel obligated to keep them in the original finish. I firmly believe in making furniture your own if that makes you happy. Fantastic job on this makeover!

9. Kitchen Island from Radio Stand
