I was a little bored this weekend waiting for the Sunday afternoon New England game, so I decided to tackle the worn down vanity in our second floor bathroom.

Why is no DIY project ever as easy as it should be? While inspecting the wood doors, I quickly discarded the possibility of sanding and restaining—way too much time for a weekend project—and decided to just paint the eye sore. Much to my surprise, the vanity came with veneer side panels despite the doors being wood—classy right?
A couple of strokes on one of the panels and I couldn't get the paint to stay on!

I'm not the most patient person, but I wasn't about to let a little fake wood stop me from updating that ugly vanity! In a separate furniture project, I used an oil based primer before painting so I gave that a try hoping the oil base would stick and I could paint the black latex paint over it.

After a few hours of drying, I got down to some creative painting positions

I'm definitely proud of this one! And I was able to get it primed, painted, and sealed all before kickoff!

| LOVE IT! |
Next up for this bathroom? More painting!
Dollars & Cents:
How much did boredom cost this weekend? NOTHING! The paint and brushes used were left over from a previous project!
