Green Solution: Recycled Vanity Table
Previous: Twinkling Wall Art
An old thrift-store coffee table is repurposed into a new vanity table. The table is cut in half lengthwise then sanded down and repainted. To bring the table up to vanity height, closet rods are screwed onto the legs using double-sided screws. The rods are then covered with an usual item — silver napkin rings. The table is then mounted to the wall and adorned with a new mirror and vanity lights. Repurposing an old, used piece of furniture and turning it into a practical and stylish piece is a great way to recycle.
