This is a lovely antique dry sink that we have painted in a vintage white and lightly distressed. It is the third one we have refinished and each one is a bit different than the rest but has great character and functionality.
The first one we did was for a painter. She uses it as a tabouret to hold all of her painting supplies. The second one went to a family awaiting the arrival of their new babygirl. It was to be used as a changing table. It can also be used as a side table in a bedroom or next to a couch. I also see it on a porch holding tons of potted plants and a place to store gardening tools. 
And until this one goes off to its new home it is resting comfortably in our living room next to our window and sofa. And I kinda like it there.
Coming up next. . . .
the long awaited Gardner Hutch has been completed
and
it is ours
and
it is amazing
and
we love it.
It is stunning. We made a few cosmetic changes and have no regrets.
I cannot wait to show you the results.
Happy Monday
What a gorgeous piece!!! Can't wait to see the hutch!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful piece. I am so jealous! What is the name of the paint that you used?
ReplyDeleteIt's so pretty, great job!
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous! I want it!
ReplyDeleteThat turned out really nice. I think some nice potted plants on it would be beautiful and it's got great storage! Looks great in your spot with your potted plant on it.
ReplyDeleteWoo hoo! lol! I'm so glad that I was your 200th follower, Melanie! Congrats on that! Be prepared for 200 more...! Yes - you're that good. :)

Wow! It's so amazing the transformation when refinished white. Love it!
ReplyDeleteI don't know how you could ever think of parting with it. It's gorgeous! And I can't believe I never realized what a perfect changing table a dry sink would make. I guess I just don't have the artistic eye that you have! It's a really beautiful transformation!

ReplyDeleteThe piece just looks more fresh in the white paint. I'd like one in my home for plants!

ReplyDeleteOh how I would love to get my hands on a dry sink! On second thought, I have no where to put it so I better stick to day dreaming! Yours is GORGEOUS so I will have to imagine it in my house until I make room for the real deal!!!

I love this! I use to have one! I need another!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos! I know you like to participate in the tabletop meme at Marty's, so I wanted to tell you that tomorrow I'll have a meme too, that I think you will love! It's called Vignette Friday's, and it's all about tabletop vignettes, bookcase vignettes, garden vignettes - any vignette you set up, photograph, and want to share! If you're interested, please stop by! EVERYONE is welcome to participate, but I really hope you do! :) Thanks, and I'm looking forward to seeing your vignette!
ReplyDeleteWow! I am always amazed at how much white paint (or any paint for that matter) can transform a piece of furniture! Suddenly it becomes something out of a Pottery Barn Catalogue (just without the outrageous price tag:-) I love it!
ReplyDeleteThat is just beautiful! Great job. Visiting from Someday Crafts.
ReplyDeleteI love what you've done with this! The antique white look is GORG-eous!
ReplyDeleteIt's so pretty in white. Very nice redo!
ReplyDeleteAnother fantastic creation, Melanie. A dry sink used as a changing table. Hmmm; that's unique. I'll have to store that idea in my memory bank for my next grandchild. ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining the party each week and sharing your talent.
Blessings,

From outdated to fresh and modern - great transformation!
ReplyDeleteThat coat of paint really made a difference--and the knobs are great!
ReplyDeleteAh.... Lovely as always! I have a friend that just bought one of these to redo..Can't wait to show her this!
ReplyDeleteI have three pieces of furniture that I want to paint, and I'm looking for a hutch. Can't wait to see it!

That looks great!
ReplyDeleteI saw that on "Not Just a Housewife".
Lovely! I'm trying to be brave and paint my old dry sinks, but I always picture my grandmother shaking her finger at me when it crosses my mind.
