In reply to Kim Stroup. If memory serves, I was able to pop off the wood embellishments pretty easily with a putty knife. A great way to change things up and give it a fresh look!

Hi Jenny,
Curious to know how you removed the embellishments from the vanity. I had added one to my daughter’s old solid wood IKEA dresser with wood glue and wanted to remove it when I repurposed it for my new baby grandson’s changing table. I tried to slip a putty knife under it, but was afraid I would tear the wood up underneath, so I left it. It works ok for now, but in the future I may want to remove it.
This is also the project I told you about in another post (Painter in My Pocket) where I ended up using (lots of) cans of spray paint because I couldn’t get the viscosity of my paint correct for my HVLP. I have since done a lot of research on sprayers (including yours, drool) and found out some interesting info. 1) Graco does not sell my model any longer 2) latex paint is on the high end of the spectrum for needing more power to push the paint through (forget the terminology) 3) there are a lot of new choices out there for sprayers and one of the most important things I will look for is ‘no need to thin paint’, which in turn will mean it has the power to push latex.
Looking forward to more installments in your Painter in My Pocket series, Kim

I don't think this makeover would have worked this well if you didn't paint the walls with this shade. Being a professional in this field, I’m sure you know the importance of a complementing background. Great job! Suzanne@CertaPro Painters

You're pretty good at playing with colors, Jenny! By adding a colorful rug and repainting the cabinet, you've made a wonderful bathroom. This is proof that renovating doesn't have to be expensive all the time. What's important is that you've incorporated your style at the room. Thanks for sharing! :)
