Vintage vanity refreshed with glass tiles!


BEFORE scroll to end to see the AfterA neighbor down the street had this in the driveway with a FREE sign! I grabbed it and threw it in the truck! It sat in my teenage daughters room for a few years and then she wanted to paint it. But I really loved the already worn look and talked her into letting me just tile the top where the wood is chipped.
 I have never tiled anything before, but headed to Hom Depot and found this cool blue glass tile that came in 12" x 12" flexible squares that were $4.00 each!! Grabbed adhesive/tile grout, a sponge and the tool the apply the grout...whatever that is called:)
 This was so easy and fun! I put down the adhesive, cut the tile webbing with a scissors to fit, put it in place and waited 24 hours to fill in the grout and wipe the tile off!
AFTER
I love the new look! My daughter was going to bring it to her college apartment, but the room was too small, so it sits in her room at home, but at least I can admire it! Total cost about $25! Remember the desk was free!
