This washstand came out of a barn. It was gross!
I bought it off the back of a pickup. I wouldn't buy meat off the back of a pickup, but I'll buy furniture!
It also has a mirror and towel bar that attaches to the back.
It took me so long to do anything with this because the veneer is messed up on the top. It looks like it was burned and it was bubbling up. I was scared to touch it until this weekend. I didn't want to ruin it! HA!
So... I took a razor blade to it and cut out around the bad spots, and then chiseled out the bad wood. As I was cutting out the bigger section, two smaller spots became apparent.
All the spots are dug out and then I sanded the edges to make it smooth.
Then I spackled the heck out of it. I filled in all the spots and waited forever for it to dry completely. The spackle turns lighter when it's dry, so then it can be sanded.
All filled and sanded and ready for paint. It was easy overall, but time consuming and very hot in the sun.
I painted it and it's just waiting for the hardware to be put back on, and then I will have the finished product pics.
