Here's another in the series of "things you might as well try painting because they can't really look worse": the vanity in our master bathroom. Pretty much everything in the bathroom is rather cheap-o, but spending money on it is not something we have any real desire to do at the moment - so I was looking for a couple quick fixes. We painted, hung new towel bars, and replaced the light fixture.
Before
(don't mind me there - only original I could
find was from house hunting album...)Recently I decided to tackle the vanity in all its peeling veneer glory (the part with the worst peeling was hidden next to the shower; didn't notice that one till after we moved in). A little sanding, priming, and painting, and I think the sophistication level's gone up a notch.
AfterThe total cost: approx. $40 for primer, paint, and 2 fun knobs from Anthropologie. And I managed to make it look better! (Unfortunately there's nothing paint can do for the scalloped sink basin and the crooked hanging doors...)
