Bold Pop of Color

Bathrooms tend to be small, so it's a great place to add a pop of color without committing to a new color scheme throughout your entire home. In this distressed bathroom vanity transformation, dated oak gets a face-lift with bold turquoise chalk paint that has been antiqued and waxed. The standard vanity base has been removed and replaced with classic tulip furniture legs to give the appearance of a stand-alone piece of furniture to this DIY vanity.
