Restored dressing table.
 

Hi all,
I got this dressing table off this site a few months back. The mirror was broken and there were cigarette burns all over the top of it.
I used Ronseal cupboard paint to paint it, which saved me loads of time and I found really good.
I covered the broken part of the mirror with photos and postcards.
I turned the mirror the other way as I'm still looking for a full length mirror for that room :)
Hope you all like it... I LOVE it :)

what a difference, well done, it now looks fantastic, love to see old things as new......you did a great job.

Thanks a million! I'm very proud of it :) I was admiring your work in 'rags to riches'. Some really gorgeous stuff... really perfectly done!

Lovely job on the dressing table. Ronseal cupboard paint looks good and very even coverage. Did you have to sand or use primer or undercoat or is this one of those miracle paints. Always looking for the easy way and have a couple of restoration projects lined up. Well done as drawers are not the easiest thing to do well (and keep them opening and closing properly). Eibhlin.

Well done it looks brilliant!!!! Thanks a mil for sharing ;)

No i didn't sand or prime anthing! I just gave it a good scrub down is all. The Ronseal was expensive- €25 but I only needed 1 coat and it went on really well and evenly. only used about 2/3s of it so enough left over to use on a another project. Took a few days to fully dry though. I would really recommend it though, very easy to use and lovely and shiny when dry.
Thanks for all the positive feedback all :)

hi there, love this, its fabulous, just wondering can u get the ronseal paint in different colours? how did u get rid of the roughness on the top of the dressing table?the top of a glasscase i have is something similiar to the top of your dressing table before it was painted, ive a job to do myself n just looking for a few tips, please n thanks, margaret.

Yeah you can get lots of different colours... I really didn't to much to it at all, just gave it a good scrub. The ronseal is very thick and shiny and managed to cover everything up very easily....

Fantastic.The paint colour is beautiful ;and great job on covering up the crack/missing piece of mirror!
