When we bought our bathroom
vanity last year for our master bathroom addition, I knew I wanted to paint it.
I love the lines of it, the deep bottom shelf, would provide lots of storage.
I like everything about it except the hardware and existing color!
We lived with the original color for over a year, looking for
the right color. I recently found the perfect color to paint our vanity Coastal
Storm MQ6-20 by . I've used other Behr® paint colors in
our home (most recently painting the interior of our front door) and couldn't
wait try out the this new interior paint + primer. Along with Wooster®
Behr®
and Behr® paint, I used ScotchBlue™ Painter’s Tape for delicate surfaces, which is perfect to use on cabinets. I
recently fell in love with Wooster® paint brushes last year while
painting my campaign dresser. To achieve a smooth finish on my vanity, I
used Wooster® Pro Nylon / Polyester paint brush.
My bathroom is super small at least for taking pictures, so it can be tricky to get a good full shot of my bathroom. Here is my bathroom vanity before. You can already tell the finish is so not me, right?
I used the ScotchBlue™ Painter’s Tape Painter’s Tape to tape off the legs around my vanity and along the wall. I also taped under the vanity cabinet and counter. Taping the walls that my vanity touches is a super time saver and allowed me to paint without have to worry I paint bump the walls with my paint brush.
I cleaned my vanity with soap and warm water, then I lightly sanded the vanity
before I began painting, then wiped away any dust reside with a lint free
cloth. The paint color is such a pretty shade of grey with no blue undertones,
it went on very smooth.
I decided to use a brush to paint out the entire vanity and loved the coverage one coat gave. I opted to let the first coat completely dry for 24 hours and then applied another coat.
I waited a few days before
installing the hardware back on. I found some hardware on The Home Depot
website that I plan on ordering and then our bathroom vanity will be done.
I'm completely in love with how the vanity turned out! The
color looks so good and the coverage nice smooth. Here's my vanity now.
I can't wait to share an
update on my vanity once our new hardware arrives! Our bathroom vanity now
feels so much more like us, and looks like an entirely new vanity. I love the
power of amazing paint + great paint brushes + ScotchBlue™ Painter’s Tape!
