It needs a little work & doesn't look like much now, but, yes, this is what I have been wanting. I was browsing craigslist to see what if anyone was getting rid of any type of vanity. The Pilot turned out double closets into a walk in & half of one of them into an area for me to sit & do my make-up (now maybe I will wear it more often, lol). Well to my surprise I stumbled across an ad for the above vanity. I was even more surprised at the price... $15!!! Can't beat that. :) I saw that the ad was placed well over a month ago. I crossed my fingers & e-mailed the person asking if they still had it. They did!! I've already sanded the multiple coats of paint off. I'm on the hunt for the perfect fabric for the skirt. I think I might paint it Sherwin Williams "Reflecting Pool" which is the same color as our bedroom (think Tiffany box blue). It's very sturdy, just needs a new knob (which I went & got before I even took it home), a skirt, & a coat of paint. I'll post pictures when I am done.

I am coveting the vanity. I can't wait to see pics when it is all done.
I wish I was moving faster on it.
