Citron Vanity

I named this vanity Citron because of the color and because I could swear there was  1960's song of that name by Donovan.

My neighbor agreed.

Evidently we are both either crazy or sixties senility has set in.

Missing her mirror made her a bargain.

I tossed the supports in the trash.

Later wishing I hadn't.

I had two vanity mirrors under the living room sofa.

Don't judge - it's where I keep mirrors safe from our horde of animals.

Had to do a little repair work to the drawers before sanding and cleaning.

Love her shape and style.

Citron was planned to be a gaudy gal with bright colors.

So her drawers were painted with an oops paint in happy blue.

(Not it's real name.)

I always start with a piece upside down.

Citron throwing her legs in the air like she just ...

At this point I planned to leave her distressed with just one light coat of paint.

Gaudy Gal was gone.

Then I found something.

Everything got a full second coat of citron paint.

Yes, Citron deserves something special.

Like these sweet distressed pink cast iron knobs. 

Expensive?

YES!

Actually more expensive than the vanity.

BUT wait a week and Hobby Lobby puts them on sale for half price.

Don't know why, but the knobs look like angel heads with angel wings to me.

How lovely is Miss Citron!?!

Yes, that's my pink mosaic pumpkin.

Best $8 I've spent in a long time.

Miss Citron can be found in Booth W-10, Riverfront Antique Mall.


PS: About that song - any ideas?



See y'all!
